Funny thing is, there was a letter to the editor in our local paper a few
weeks ago that quoted Buhs the senior on why he wouldn't go into Iraq. It
described/predicted exactly the situation now. You'd think junior would at
least listen to dad.

At the end of World War I, the Treaty of Versailles was signed, which put
conditions on Germany rebuilding its military. When Germany later began
rebuilding its military and building concentration camps, England ignored it.
France ignored it. And even USA ignored it. The stage for a much greater war
was set.

At the end of the Gulf War in 1991, a cease fire was signed, with Saddam
Hussein's Iraq agreeing to conditions of not building certain weapons. Yet he
did, and even the UN admitted that he was not living up to his cease fire.
Thus the cease fire was void.

History repeats itself for those who never learn from it.



Takes action myass. He wanted this war for oil and business.

Huh? We don't need to go to Iraq to get oil. Are you saying that we went to
Afghanistan "for oil" too?

He doesn't give
a flying fig about the Iraqi people.

His actions show otherwise.

The inspectors were going in. This war
is unnecessary.

The inspectors hadn't been in for over half a decade. Why did they suddenly go
back? The threat of force was the ONLY reason Hussein was going to let them in
at all, even as he was hiding his programs.


The stern threat was probably necessary to get the
inspectors in,

It's obvious that they were not going anywhere without credible threat of force,
because they didn't go anywhere without a credible threat of force. .

but once they were, Buhs had no reason to wage this war
beyond the almighty dollar. Even Rummy said that if we didn't find weapons
in "x" months, which have long passed, we would have a credibility problem.

Do tell us what x really is. Speaking of credibility problem, you seem to have
no problem with Clinton's brutual bombing of Baghdad in 1998, the strikes in
1995, the Belgrade calamities caused by bombing in 1999, the bloody excursions
in Haiti, Somalia, Bosnia. But whenever there was terrorism (World Trade
Center bombing 1993, Cole Bombing, US Embassy bombings, and so on), there was no
response except the message that America will not respond.

And we do-except for those who refuse to face reality.

Don't take my word, Click here to hear Clinton say it in his own words:
