Correll, post: 1633345It's funny how harsh your judgement on Bush is, but you never see anything with Saddam's behavior as an issue.
In March 2003 after 1441 was passed 200 days earlier with Bush's prodding and consent, it was Bush that was lying and Saddam was telling the truth.
There was no justification for an invasion in March 2003 after Saddam allowed the inspectors in and cooperated with them.
Bush was worse than Saddam Hussein in March 2003 after Bush had already agreed through 1441 to give Saddam Hussein a final opportunity to comply,
You may not like it but your Trump is correct on this one. Bush lied. Saddam was not lying to you in March 2003. Bush lied to you. Why is that ok?
If Bush had on March 7 2003 solid verifiable evidence that Iraq was hiding WMD from Blix, why did Bush offer to leave Saddam in power after ten days if Blix could finish his work by then?
Think about it.
Why did Bush agree that Saddam could stay in power?
He had no idea evidence.
So Bush invaded Iraq based on evidence acquired after March 10 or none at all.
If he acquired fresh evidence he did not give the inspectors a chance to confirm or deny its validity.
Why do you think invading Iraq was such a good decision by Bush. Even if he was right he did not properly prepare the military to be ready to deal with a toppled regime in an Islamic nation divided by so many religious sects.
You focus on the fact that under threat of invasion, Saddam finally complied with allowing inspectors access, while ignoring his years and years of NOT complying.
And based on that, you declare Bush the bad guy.
All your arguments are half baked, poorly thought out rationalizations like that.
