I've seen video of soldiers breaking down doors, shoving people to the floor, and taking all of the guns in the house so don't even pretend it didn't happen.

So your narrative is that the entire country was systematically disarmed so that a massacre could take place, but has re-armed in the last, what, six months --

-- is based on the videos you've seen?

You saw videos and this was proof to you that the country was being disarmed?

I just want to make sure I have this straight. On these videos, did the reporter say "they are strategically and completely disarming the citizenry of Iraq"? Or was that something you divined? Or did you watch it without a reporter describing it?

Get this right. CNN reported the FACT that in 1991 and subsequently, American soldiers kicked down the doors of Iraqi homes, shoved the inhabitants to the floor, searched the homes, and took all of their weapons including AK-47S. NOBODY was allowed to have them . America also shut down the free press in Iraq when they were reporting unfavorably about the American military.
