It came with a really shoddy warranty package, the 147 point inspection conspicuously avoided looking at anything in the Sunni Triangle, and the color was wrong. The $50 billion deductible on the first religious insurgency was considered excessive at the time. And would YOU purchase a nation from "Crazy Saddam's Used Country Bazar"?

ANd what would you do with all that sand and more people on the welfare rolls, I think not. OIl can't come into play as they don't have much to sustain them, even Iran Imports most of theirs. Let them keep it!

Yep.
I bet if we would offered Saddam and his 2 sons $5 billion to get out and go anywhere else, they would have taken the money and ran.
End result, the American taxpayer would have saved $2.395 trillion from Bush's fiasco.

Not a bad idea. It would probably have been cheaper in terms of money and much cheaper in terms of American lives.

No no no. You can't steal billions of tax dollars if you do things legally.
