QuoteQuote... or maybe they didn't have the evidence to justify it and decided not to make up reasons.
Nope, it was purely a political decision... every time they shot at a plane in the "no fly zone" it was a violation of the ceasefire agreement... they made the decision to let the UN play their game... all the while Saddam built long range missiles (another violation)... How much money did we blow during the Clinton years deploying troops to the region everytime Saddam moved a Division towards Kuwait? Saddam knew he could keep jerking our chain without any real threat of us doing anything, because there was no political will.

You know, I think you've hit on something JD. You're absolutely right, it was a political decision. Sure they wanted Saddam gone, everybody wanted Saddam gone. The congress passed a bill that it should be US policy to support regime change in Iraq and Bill Clinton signed it. That was 1998, go forward 2 years, Bush is campaigning talking about how he'll conduct of "humble" foreign policy. Yet we know that the people who he intended to hire to run his foreign policy were in favor of taking Saddam out by force, invasion for that matter. Why didn't they tell us that then in 2000? Maybe because it would be politically unpopular. They didn't have the "political courage" to do anything, 9/11 scared Americans shitless and they simply played off our fears.

Actually, it was a couple of years ago, but I do remember reading an article in Fortune about how the cost of producing a barrel of oil had plummeted whilst gasoline prices etc had stayed stable leading to tremendous profit increases
