No...The media bears a great deal of blame for this. Not a single entity bothered to check up their stories. They bought the Democrat party line based on little more than their hatred for Vietnam and their desire to push an agenda. Having witnessed 9/11 first hand, you'd think they would be more aggressive in their approach to national defense. Instead they took the liberal view and chose to negotiate with cultures that are trapped in a toxic Medieval mindset with absolutely no intention or desire to change.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-3218792054281925362015-02-19T02:17:36.351-08:002015-02-19T02:17:36.351-08:00Is there any worse job than being one of Obama'...Is there any worse job than being one of Obama's spokespeople? Jay Carney must be the happiest man in the world right now. Josh Earnest is probably hitting him up for Job leads … and I apologize for not knowing their names, but the two women who have been shilling for defense have totally been set up for failure. Then there's Susan Rice and Eric Holder … but they are in a different category, because I think the actually believe the tripe they spew. But, at least, Obama had the sense to replace Holder with a very talented country singer ...maxutilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294262473781967372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-11824789273416853302015-02-17T19:59:26.858-08:002015-02-17T19:59:26.858-08:00Darren, it's not only Iraq that's gone dow...Darren, it's not only Iraq that's gone down since 2009. Libya is in chaos, Egypt, if all goes well, will have a semblance of stability thanks to the military coup, Syria is still unstable and Afghanistan is falling apart. I only thought the RNC could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as badly as this.

Looks like both countries have gone downhill since 2009.<br /><br />As far as Kuwait stealing Iraq's oil--I remember reading about that possibility at the time but don't know. I can't believe Bush 41 would indicate to Saddam that he could invade Kuwait, and then turn around and condemn the invasion and organize a counter-invasion. That's the stuff of conspiracy theories. I do recall that our ambassador to Iraq might have given Saddam a non-committal answer to questions that indicated he was thinking of invading Kuwait. <br /><br />On the other hand, he also told King--was it Fahd back then?--that Fahd should just take Qatar while Saddam took Kuwait.<br /><br />He was a bad guy, a crazy guy, and anyone who thinks Iraq was better off with him is just nuts. He was a Hitler and he had to go.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-35013105722933064492015-02-16T22:46:30.863-08:002015-02-16T22:46:30.863-08:00Personally … I believe it was an ill-advised war, ...Personally … I believe it was an ill-advised war, and I think their might have been a touch of revenge inherent in it. But, all the facts you stated, with which I don't disagree … none of them trump the real one: Saddam WANTED us to believe he had them, and he had used them before, so it was a logical belief . He screwed up. So even assuming the premise that Bush lied …which I DON'T believe -- still Saddam's fault<br /><br />An interesting side note, and one I'm more curious about … was Kuwait stealing Iraq's oil before they were invaded … and did H.W. give Hussein a nod and a wink to invade? I don't know, and that's purely hypothetical … but it does make sense, even if it's completely untrue.<br />maxutilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294262473781967372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-30499975349821401132015-02-16T19:21:09.314-08:002015-02-16T19:21:09.314-08:00My comment is I wish he were still in power.
