I bet not one person on this board know that we the US had saddam at the end of the gulf war. Bush decided to let him go telling the sheities muslims we would back them in a civil war to overthrow him down the road. The muslims stood up we turned our back and 10,000 were killed. Now for all you naysayers Ive seen pictures of Bush and saddam siting at a table signing an agreement. Ever think why the general quit the military the day after. The general had him and Bush let him go.
