Where are all the naysayers who bitched about George Sr when he followed UN mandates and did not take out Sadam in the first Gulf War? For someone who was "no threat to us," he sure had a way of projecting the fantasy that he had the biggest military in the region, and apparently not supporting terror means paying huge sums of money to the families of suicide bombers is just being a friendly old guy. I guess his own people hung him because his was such a benign regime.
Two d's in Saddam.
