re: #300 albusteve

I thought it was a masterful stroke to get the entire Senate to vote to take down Hussein

That was an act of cowardice on the part of the Democrats. They were so afraid of being called anti-American in the wake of 9/11, Bush could have called for the invasion of Canada and they would have gone along with him.

Saddam Hussein wasn’t a viable military threat. If he was, Bush wouldn’t have invaded, as the potential troop loss would have been too risky. Sadly, he didn’t think far enough ahead to consider the occupation and fighting a guerilla war.
