Yep… And this is pretty much what absolutely everyone else involved in policy said around the world.

Our real chance to truly change Iraq was in the first Gulf war had we turned Iraq over to the governance of the arab alliance. That would have tied the Arabs up dealing with Iraq and taken pressure off of Israel while putting more permanent and lasting pressure on Iran while leaving our forces free from the second conflict.

The biggest blunder in Iraq actually rests with Bush senior. I have absolutely no idea why he betrayed the opposition in Iraq and left Saddam in power.

Boy Ludwig..I don’t think I could agree more…It has always been my Viewpoint that Bush 1 fucked up bad…One more fucking day of war Bush 1 you pussy and my America could have finished it up and end the madness..
My son spent 7 months killing people in Fallujah for the genius of our foreign policy back then…In terms of global effect I think Bush 1 was wrong.
