Lt. General Ricardo S. Sanchez vs. The MSM

[VRM]

Jamo,
He did dick around, but he did let the inspectors in and they were doing their job. Under Clinton there was no threat of force. Not real force anyway. That's why Iraq never let in any inspectors until Bush came along. Iraq could absorb a few cruise missiles, but Hussein knew that Bush was itching to go get him. He was completely contained and, externally, mostly harmless.
Where was he going to go?

Internally, yep things were pretty bad for many, but not all. Iraq was actually one of the more advanced societies in the ME. Women could work, engineering was taught in schools, they had internet access, and so on. That is not the case now, and most Iraqis blame us for that.

My comment about being consistent only has to do with the rules themselves, not how we enforce those rules. Arbitrary rules do not promote stability. A mad dog who attacks on a whim is usually put down.

I've met Carter. Hes a nice guy, but totally in over his head.

I prefer go to chess.
