JBC, you employ selective memory... more comments wrong, Saddam went into Kuwait under the belief that US was pacified, reluctant, and unadventurous in the MidEast which was clearly the case up to 1990 also, after a failed assassination attempt of elder Bush in Kuwait, the US did nothing about it in retaliation so Saddam viewed the US leaders as spineless he knew well that if we challenged him, we would prevail to think otherwise is lunatic and discredits your powers of reason Saddam was all about thumbing his nose at USA why would he challenge air superiority with MIG flights into the no-fly zone? of course, because (read this carefully) HE DID NOT CARE IF WE SHOT THEM DOWN you expect of him reasoning and rational thought he is megalomaniacal and irrational this is a key error made by armchair QBs such as you as for the museum, you are very very poorly informed and probably employ selective memory before the attack on Baghdad, we gave repeated assurances to the Iraq National Council, Chalabi, certain Muslim religious groups, and even some US archeological groups that we would preserve the museums this assurance was made directly by the USArmy the fact that you are unaware is alarming Bushy said (read this carefully) BEFORE THE WAR, that it would be a short war do you recall his CONGRATULATIONS aboard the aircraft carrier? or have you forgotten that also? that event confirmed his view of a short war jeez, you miss the most obvious past facts that even a grade school 'B' student would grasp Bushy said (read this carefully) AFTER THINGS BROKE DOWN FOLLOWING THE FALL OF BAGHDAD, that it would be a long war you fail to understand that his new view of a long war was forced by events, whereby he had to move into parallel with reality finally, driven by those events he had begun to look stupid and out of touch with reality it is like Bushy supporters endure a complete memory WIPE whenever it is convenient I will grant you this some of my listed LIES are really absurd forecasts, intended to placate his opponents, and completely assure his mindless supporters they were silly forecasts, like Iraqi Oil would pay for all war costs do you remember that one ? or was your memory turned off for that ? perhaps you wiped that one clean when it became convenient ? you need to embrace the wider connotations of what lies entail to intentionally deceive on a grander scale constitutes lies that is precisely what he did bring out the Energy Commission Report if you want to see their ultimate motives how on earth is that protected by national security clearance? what could it include that is sensitive to our security? perhaps they USA regards its entire economy as vulnerable, and therefore must steal a nation's oil RATHER THAN SUPPORT R&D FOR FUELCELL TECHNOLOGY? I have to say the Bushy supporters are some of the stupidest people I have ever laid eyes on some of the most intellectually dishonest people I have ever dealt with some of the weakest I have ever encountered in debate and arguments intellectual dishonesty is the stock & trade of Bushy supporters say one thing, do another, then rationalize it promise one thing conditional on event X, later X happens, and you break the promise, and either deny you promised at all or say it doesnt matter the main thing about Bushy supporters is that the only thing that seems to matter to them (surely not the truth) is remaining in power, and securing more power even if it comes in compromise of the US Constitution watch the Idiot Prince rattle Iran's cage this late summer and early autumn to get the vote for "back the commander in times of war" you guys are unbelieeeeeeeeeevable patsies your powers of memory are utterly pathetic / jim
