George H.W. Bush had this to say in a 1998 Time article, when asked why US/UN forces didn't go after Saddam Hussein after Iraqi forces were pushed out of Kuwait in the Gulf War.

"We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq. The coalition would instantly have collapsed, the Arabs deserting it in anger and other allies pulling out as well. Under those circumstances, furthermore, we had been self-consciously trying to set a pattern for handling aggression in the post-cold war world. Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the U.N.'s mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the U.S. could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land. It would have been a dramatically different--and perhaps barren--outcome."

Seems like besides running the CIA and being a one term president, Bush Sr. was a a fortune teller, for his own kid.

I was in the service when he was in. He was an awesome president better than Ronald Regen. He actual came to a hot zone and surprised a lot of Junior troops. Also he would not accept money from the Saudi government. I think 10,000 was going to be given to every service member. We are not paid mercenaries he told them. He did have principals that made sense.

No and it truly is to early to tell climate or no longer he's the worst or the ideal. it is going to absolutely in keeping with climate or no longer Iraq and Afghanistan can shelter sturdy governments and adjust into allied international places that we are in a position to commerce with (such as Saudi Arabia).

If Iraq maintains to be sturdy and honestly rejects religious fans it would desire to have extensive impacts on the achieved area. the ideal President? It relies upon there's no longer one President who replace into particularly out status on all fronts. some have been great protection stress leaders others have been great at tackling bills, deficits etc. JFK replace into an remarkable chief.

"Ask no longer what your u . s . can do for you yet what you're in a position to do to your u . s .." "Our themes are man made there fore they may be solved." Regan might desire to prefer to be between the suitable additionally. He set the element and accomplished his taking section in enjoying cards thoroughly this extra the U.S. crashing down.

The First Gulf War.

Kuwait oversold their quota of oil. Opec refused to do anything about it. They were hurting the Iraqi economy. Iraq asked the US diplomat if the US would intervene if Iraq invaded Kuwait-diplomat said no, so Iraq invaded. US intervened and kicked Iraq out.

As we won the Gulf War, Liberals kept him from taking Saddam out, millions of deaths occurred because of it. Liberals always give up, and whatever their motives are, it cost people their lives. It was the same for Viet Nam, after we cut and ran, 3,000,000 people died. Liberals are to blame. Liberals have no business in government when we are at war.
