and then pressured Saddam for years until he capitulated. I don't know why you think we had to kick Saddam around at all. The Gulf War was over. If we had sellers remorse about the terms of the treaty then it was up to the neocons to get over it. Saddam had destroyed his weapons.

It was about oil. Saddam had it, and Cheney wanted it. Maybe a million Iraqis have died because of the sanctions and direct bombing because the Vice-Criminal Cheney wanted to enrich himself by taking the Iraqi oil fields. TP
