Heading into war in IRAQ

To delve into another part about the war on iraq. Discuss about the act on going the war that was waged to throw down Saddam Hussein.

What I do not get is about these people who said that diplomacy should have been use. That any war is evil and should not have been done at all. It is ridiculuous because Saddam was laughing his ass off each time negotiators talk to him. He wasn't a reasonable man at all.

I feel that if George Bush Senior wasn't such a chicken and went all the way into Iraq and thrown down Saddam then in the early 90's, we would never have this current situation with iraq.

Ever actually seen any pictures of the Iraqi military, prewar?

Notice all the Kalashnikov rifles?  Notice all the T62 tanks and MiG jet fighters?

Where do you suppose those came from?

Were you aware that the Desert Storm offensive in 1991 had to be delayed several days to give the Soviets time to pull 5000 Spetznaz advisors out of the country, who had been training Saddam's army?  How do you suppose that came about?

Iraq under Saddam Hussein and the Ba'athists was ALWAYS a Soviet puppet state, just like Syria, Libya, and Egypt before Mubarak threw out the Soviet "advisors."

Who gave Saddam "chemical weapons?"  What is your documentation for this claim, other than "derp derp everybody knows, derp derp CHIMPY MCBUSHITLER LIED!  NO WAR FOR OIL, BAWWWWWWWWW"

The French and Germans built chemical plants in Iraq, yes.  I am not aware of anyone selling chemical munitions to him.  Then again, do you suppose that it's possible that he had bright people working for him who were able to manufacture them without assistance?  Mustard gas is WWI technology.  It's not exactly ZOOMJ 21ST CNTRY BLEEDING EDGE HI TECH OMG.
