As for taking out Saddam in 91, I think the only one that was proved correct was President George H. W. Bush. As a lonely Sergeant during this conflict I understood that if we took Saddam out there would be a huge void and chaos would ensue, it is amazing that the current administration didn't heed the advice of the majority of experts in Middle Eastern affairs.
If you read "Plan of Attack" it will show how smart Colin Powell was. Quadius On 5/22/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
My man Powell was also very smart, but not always listened to. For the last 2 years, Iraq has been in a civil war, like Nam, the enemy doesn't wear combat uniforms, like our team. We are easy to spot and remain easy targets. Our beloved Green Zone has been breached so many times and American Soldiers, National Guardsmen and Reserves are caught in the middle. We only acknowledged recently as a government that there might be a civil war in some areas of Iraq. Hundreds of millions of dollars from America are going to families on both sides of the civil war for family members being killed accidentally and damage to homes, while our guys and their families continue to suffer for services. Our injured soldiers continue to be tag'd not as fighting soldiers injured, but rather "enlisted, reserves and national guard." One could easily argue that they signed up for the call to action and are ready to die for the cause. But did they really? Let's bring them home to their families and bring some of that oil too. God Bless Our Soldiers and Their Families! W In a message dated 5/22/2007 7:49:37 P.M.
