Bill Clinton аnd hіѕ campaign іn bombing Iraq. I rесkοn Bush јυѕt probably mаdе іt worse, though, IMO.
The Iraq Liberation Act was a reaction to Saddam Hussein’s "cheat and retreat" policy concerning his weapons. Many of the others who have responded to your question have never read the text of the Act. So, the first link below is to that Act.
The actual military offensive against Iraq was authorized by the Congress nearly five years later. The reasons listed in that authorization mirror some from the Iraq Liberation Act. That’s the second link below.
As for the oil issue, most of Iraqi oil production is under contract to a French firm and has been for many years.
No. Our president Bush ordered the ill fated attack on Iraq.
Your assertion(s) is comical.
No the 2nd gulf war started when neocons in the heritage foundation and other places plotted out a whole scheme for subduing saddam, democratizing iraq and getting a steady supply of cheap oil and hatched it to incoming president (and everyones favorite crony) George W Bush.
All they needed was some national fervor (unfortunately, 9/11 helped that) and away we went. But if wasnt 9-11, it’d have been something else.
BTW
Of course Lincoln finished the civil war… but if you really reckon republicans today are anything like what they were then, your sadly mistaken. Todays republicans would be southerners dont forget.
You guys claiming him like you share his ideals annoys the heck out of me. He was a pretty liberal guy.
