10 years wasnt enough?


Maybe if Saddam had cooperated the first 16 or 17 times, there would have been no need for an invasion. 10 years is very patient IMO. We should have invaded after the 3rd or 4th time he interfered with inspectors.


A complete record of his interference is available here on the UN's website - http://www.un.org/Depts/unscom/Chronology/chronology.htm -




Oh, I agree. We definitely should not wait 10 years with Iran like we did with Iraq. We should act much sooner if they refuse to cooperate.




Why is that a reason to stay out of Iraq? Are you saying our defense policy should center around placating Turkey? Gimme a break.


Regardless of what obnoxious actions Turkey might commit in the future, we were correct to go into Iraq. The alternatives were worse. And you cant make policy in hindsight.
