Saddam has been a loose cannon on deck ever since Reagan, Bush I and Rumsfeld played ring around the rosey with him decades ago. After the Persian Gulf War, Saddam agreed to certain inspections. Saddam kicked out the inspectors. Clinton responded to the threat in a manner that was mostly commensurate with the threat. Prior to the Iraq war, Saddam opened up Iraq to inspections again. Bush ordered the inspectors out of the country so that he could prosecute an invasion and an occupation of Iraq. This illegal war has resulted in the deaths of 100,000's. Iraq has now been thrust into chaos. There is no end in sight. Bush has no criteria for declaring victory and no exit strategy. The result of this war is a fractured nation set in ethnic strife and civil war. Bush has no plan, except that we should have a military presence in Iraq for decades. A plan of occupation will not bring peace to the region. Meanwhile oil continues to flow unmetered out of the country. Billions of dollars are unaccounted for. Corruption and croneyism rules that nation. Who is to blame for this mess? George W. Bush. For prosecuting an illegal war alone Bush should be impeached. Those members of Congress that abdicated their Constitutional duty to the nation should also be impeached.

1998 does not apply to 2003, Bushie boy. Quit trying to disinform the threads by posting those dishonest comparisons. Everyone knows damn well that Bush-cheney lied us into war now. There is no question about it. Worse yet, they flubbed the war planning so badly that we now have the worst foreign policy and military disaster on our hands since Vietnam, maybe even worse considering the strategic importance of the region. Vietnam was of little strategic importance.
