Ah, yet another version of why we are allowed to invade other countries

How many versions do we get? Six? Eighteen? Ninteen eighty-four?

Weapons of mass destruction!!!!

Oh, can't find any... um... Connected to Al Qaeda!!!

Oh, they were Saudis... um... Saddam was a bad guy!!!!

Oh, he was just as bad when he was our "friend" fighting Iran... um... He broke the truce!!!!

Oh, he had started to comply again when we attacked him anyway... um... Next!

Are we going to just keep hearing one apologia after another offered in the hope that this one, by God, will stick? Who is fooled by this?

GW1 halted himself. Personally, I believe his thyroid medication kicked in (he was being treated for Graves Disease at the time), and that it was a damn shame we turned our backs on the Shi'ite revolt, but hey, we did it to the Hungarians in 1956 too, so it was no big surprise.

GW1 was defeated not on foreign policy, but on domestic policy.
