I agree with the sentiment behind what is being said. That clarified, let's get on to the topic.
In 1991, the UN voted for a use of force resolution to oust the Iraqi army from Kuwait. In the resolution there was nothing, zero, nada, zilch about enting Iraq & deposing the leader. We were there to contain his army & remove them from Kuwait. Bush I was a pansy for not including that in the resolution but, either way, that wasn't the game plan.
I've seen people pissing & moaning about Bush I & Bush II, Colin Powell, Stormin' Norman & just about anybody else involved. Well, it wasn't thier job. We, the UN supported American Army, did a kick ass, clean & almost bloodless (for our side) job & should be appreciated. Kuwait is once again free to hate us, Saudi still stabs us in the back every chance they have & the rest of the UN thinks we're bullies. So be it. Now we can do what should have been recommended 11 years ago.
