Wrong again! And the lengths to which you will stoop to enable Saddam are frightening, BTW!!!!
Conditions of surrender are conditions of surrender, regardless of "planning"...you break it, you buy it. One such condition was to conform to the 16 UN Resolutions he broke. Since removing Saddam in 1990 was not our mission, doing so would have caused what Saddam threatens will happen now with the Arab street. Our mission in 1990 was to stop Saddam's greedy oil grubbing, so he couldn't blackmail and hold hostage America's interests. Mission accomplished! Bush 41 beat back Saddam and reduced him to a pile of quivering blubber, crying to save his rear! Colin Powell advised Bush 41 that ousting Saddam would hurt Arab Relations, and assured Bush 41 that Saddam's replacement would be much worse than a beaten-down compliant Saddam. So, if ya want to lay blame on how we got here....Powell and giving peace a chance are the culprits!!!!!

Who's trying to solve problems by dropping nuclear bombs? Oh, right...Saddam is!!!!
We said we would leave the Gulf after the war was over??? First of all, the Gulf war isn't over! And second, Saudi Arabia won't let our troops leave, seems they are afraid of being overthrown by bin Laden's terrorist network, and the Royals begged the UN to install US there in the first place!(Learn a little History, dude.) So "your truth" is false, the fact is, Saddam said he surrendered...HE LIED!
In wartime, we don't need to P-foot around with Diplomacy, no need to ask permission to defend our Country in a 10+ year ongoing war, no need for a "smoking gun"...the "smoking gun" is the fact that the Gulf war has no ending!
All this PC crap going on right now is un-necessary and a waste of time, which Saddam loves I'm sure!
Saddam ignores fundamental UN Resolutions...
Saddam ignores the Rules of Law...
In Kuwait and to the Kurds, Saddam ignores the fact that a "smoking gun" must be presented before any attack can even be considered...
Sure would be nice if you would apply the same standards and barriers to Saddam that you expect of me!!!!! Reality is lost on you! Reality is, in any fight, if our side is bound by rules, and the other side is not...our side loses everytime!
