but why didn't we oust Hussein's regime back in 1991?
|
The short answer, politics overrode common sense.
|
In 1991 we thought the war was going to be tougher and longer than we thought. So we felt we needed to have the backing of the Arab worl. One of the conditions was that we would only liberate Kuwiat(sp). We were not to go after Saddam. The objective of Desert Storm was met and even though a lot of people (including me) felt like Saddam should have been a major target also.

Imagine yourself in my shoes. Over there, and wondering why we are still seeing his ugly mug on t.v. talking smack, and there are no planes taking off the carrier to go fix the problem.
Then your president comes on t.v. and says, " We have accomplished the mission."
Grrrrrrrrrrr.
