Just to make this perfectly clear:

My assertion is that WAR is the ONLY way to oust Saddam.

Your assertion must either be:

1. There's another way (if so let me hear it)
or
2. Saddam is fine where he is.


Let's leave Bush Sr. out of this. Let's also leave Clinton out of it since he did NOTHING to rectify the situation and he didn't go after Osama after he blew up barracks and bombed the Cole...

Which of the above assertions is yours?


Oh, and I think our promise to the Saudis was:

1. We wouldn't DIRECTLY go after Saddam personally(a promise to CONGRESS as much as to the Saudis, since assinations were outlawed under Johnson)
2. We wouldn't OCCUPY Iraq.

Other than that, Saudis were SCREAMING for us to move in because they, like us, felt that Saddam was planning a sharp right turn into Saudi Arabia, giving him the #1 and #2 largest oil wells which pump the money he DESPARATELY needed after his 10 years of war with Iran...
