Riiiiiiiiiight.
Had nothing to do with an oppresive, totalitarian dictator that murdered and tortured at whim, 80,000+ gassed Kurds (thought to be Iranians), or refusing to comply with United Nation demands. Nothing to do with UN weapons inspectors reporting that Hussein was simply transferring WMDs from location to location. Or that Iraq constantly violated the no-fly zone established.
Just a side show. Gotcha.
Want to put the blame on someone? Blame Mr. Clinton for pulling us out the first time while the JCOS screamed that we needed to stay and finish the job. The US showed its lack of resolve back in 1991/1992.
This isn't "Bush's war." It's just mopping up after an incompetent president made a mockery of his position as the CIC by pulling us out before our mission was complete because he's too ignorant to know anything about military tactics and too stupid to listen to those that do know.
Stop drinking the Internet Kool-Aid and read some history.
