Can you actually with a clear mind tell me that he went there because of the Kuwait invasion 15 years ago and he was worried that Sadam might attack our country. I've heard lame excuses for this invasion, but those two top the list. Now tell me while we are still there, Sadam is gone. Let me repeat, Sadam is dead!
can you actually use your 65 or so years of human experience to tell me that a man's past is not going to factor in how you evaluate what he is likely to do?
no, i don't think anyone thought Saddam would form a front and attack us in a conventional war, no military on this planet could talk itself into doing that. the most rational, and you have to agree with this, assesment was that Saddam would assist, develop, be the catalsyst for, ANYTHING to hurt this country. his army was dessimated so the most logical thing for him to do would be unconventional. i personally think he destroyed the evidence.
OT?:
i made my assistant principal look like a fool once (actually more than once - lol) when i was in HS. he saw me smoking, SAW me smoking outside after lunch. that was a big no no. he could see the pack outline in my pocket and dragged me up to the front office and as he stepped in to the principals office ahead of me i put the pack in my underwear, as i sat down in the office chair i slid the lighter in my shoe. he told the principal what he saw and he was licking his chops because he "knew" i had those cigs in my pocket. i put up a little resistance when they told me to empty my pockets for dramatic effect but oh the face he made when i dog eared my pockets was so priceless!!! i wonder if this would work on a larger scale....
