Remember that President Bush was targeted by assasination for Saddam, so in a personal matter between Bush and Saddam we probobly cant understand. Of course Clinton wouldn't have done anything, but how long would people like him just hit Iraq with sanctions. Like it or not, you cant stop the flow of everything into Iraq, and if action was never taking, 20 years downt he road we could have had Uday in charge with a whole new arsenal.
Theres a growing attitude in the US military community that Schwarzkopf was an idiot, mainly flowing from exageratted points in the first Gulf War and a lie he told in congress about the Gulf War Illness. So some would say his opinion doesn't mean much...
I do trust Bush for doing the right thing, even though it may not have turned out right. Bush is not the stereotyped cowboy or war monger the world can make him out to be. Remember he is a man of great faith and integraty, who was dropped in some of the most extrodinary circumstances after 9/11.
BTW Redleg, id love to here more about your experience in lebanon, in particular what you heard or know about the Bekaa Valley.
