I agree that the assassination plot was mentioned in the resolution. But just cause it was mentioned in the resolution doesn't mean it was listed as a reason.
Regardless, the article that was posted in this thread is BS because there was evidence that was previously presented by Clinton that would scoff at this report. Like the article that was originally posted in this thread said just cause they didn't find the documents linking Saddam to the plot doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's ruling Revolution Command Council denounced the raid as "cowardly aggression" and said Washington's reason for launching it was "fabricated by the vile Kuwaiti rulers in coordination with agencies in the U.S. administration."
Wellllll, it turns out that Saddam WAS TELLING THE TRUTH back in 1993 and he did NOT plan the attack on Bush 1...
Tell me something ......
YOU are okay with our governmjent using intelligence information, (and faulty at that) from a DECADE beforehand as intelligence good enough to attack a country and dictator now?
What WAS the imminent threat that President Bush used to make HIS DECISION to send us to war...DO YOU KNOW?
or are you one of those people that think the military are just people that we can use to do any kind of military action we want with...or just people to use and allow to get killed for any reason the administration wants to give and an IMMINENT threat to the usa is not necessary to send these guys and gals off to die?
Sounds like it....?
I don't think any soldier should be sent to their possible DEATH...unless it is for an imminent threat to us...unless we are in immediate danger or we have been attacked....
