well that means Saddam would have gotten his way. |
Can you imagine a different way?
Assassinating him? Engineering a coup against him? Arming the Kurds?
Anything that would not have cost American (and countless Iraqi) lives, wasted American money, wasted resources, given us $3.79/gal. gasoline, strengthened Iran, etc?
Show some creativity here. |
Saddam had a great security service . Over the years the US has had ZERO success in combating mid east regimes or groups that were hostile to the US.
A coup against Saddam had as much chance as a coup against Kim Il Sung.
The US CIA is completely outclassed by the security services of mid east nations. |

The Cold War was actually all about stability.
This hot war in the Middle East is not.
I think that's a poor comparison. You are reaching here. |
