Trying to figure out what the heck everyone is talking about in this messed up thread?
When the American economy is down, the old adaged is lets have a war.
To begin with, when Bush Senior had a chance to invade Iraq, He did't. Oh, does anyone remember Desert Storm?
Secondly when Iran took over the American Embasy, we did nothing, because of the Viet Nam Conflict, did not want to look bad.
Actually, how many mistakes have the Intelligence Community made? TONS.
Do not share Intel as may help a fellow Spy group get more money from congress!
So, basically whose fault is it? Hell, it is ours and no one elses is it?
I was told one morning on the deck of the Chapter House that North Korea was much more a thought for being stupid than Iraq when it came to Nukes!
This was 6 years ago.
There was no doubt that Saddam was a Despot and a killer of his country people who were not aligned with him and his.
If this now War and Democracy is ever put in place (?) it will be interesting to see how other countrys will go with the Mullah's in charge.
