For those among us that believe that G.W. Bush invented the entire conflict with Iraq in his head so he could declare war or have forgotten the complex struggles that got us involved in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 I suggest that you head on over to The Mudville Gazette and read: A Brief History of a Long War (Iraq 1990 – 2003). Greyhawk has compiled and put together a great post about how previous Administrations and International Agencies dropped the ball on Iraq or turned a blind eye altogether to the trouble brewing thanks to Saddam.
Don’t miss this January 2001 quote from the Washington Post “...of all the booby traps left behind by the Clinton administration, none is more dangerous -- or more urgent -- than the situation in Iraq. Over the last year, Mr. Clinton and his team quietly avoided dealing with, or calling attention to, the almost complete unraveling of a decade's efforts to isolate the regime of Saddam Hussein and prevent it from rebuilding its weapons of mass destruction. That leaves President Bush to confront a dismaying panorama in the Persian Gulf," including "intelligence photos that show the reconstruction of factories long suspected of producing chemical and biological weapons."
Good Job Greyhawk, once again the voice of reason will prevail!
