Really dumbass, you wanted to deploy combat forces into a war with what 5 or more sides...2 muslim factions, christians, druze, syria, Israel etc etc etc. Explain who we would attack. You act like some friggen historian, where were we just 10 years prior. The American people were not going to except getting sucked into Beirut. We had bigger fish to fry in Europe. You act like this was happening in a vacuum. Enjoy China.
If you knew the history of OBL, which you obviously you don't, you would understand how ridiculous it is to suggest that Saddam was in league with AQ for 9/11.
They were diametrically opposed forces. OBL wanted to use his forces to remove Saddam from Kuwait, but Kuwait wouldn't go for it.
When American boots touched Saudi ground, we fostered the hate that would push them over the edge.
Do you understand how much militant Islamists forbid kafirs in that land? Neither did Bush I.
And Bush II had to have the Shia/ Sunni split AFTER he invaded Iraq. A truly dumb man, considering you can learn that at literally any junior college.
You're just trying to stroke your ego about Iraq. You've been there so it must have been defending freedom and fighting the terrorists, right?
