How much more of this? My dad was telling me that Bush Sr. said that if he didn't pull troops out of middle east when he did, they would've been stuck for 10 years. Then Bush Jr. does the samething his father said shouldn't be done. I'll try to find the book.
Wonder how much he made selling those pics to the media?Quote:

Would have have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq. The coalition would instantly have collapsed, the Arabs deserting in anger and other allies pulling out as well. Under those circumstances, there was no viable 'exit strategy' we could see, violating another of our principles... Had we gone the invasion route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land. It would have been a dramatically different - and perhaps barren - outcome.". (quoted in Losing America, pg 154)

The UN resolution also only gave authority to go to the Iraqi borders, it was quite specific about that.
To have attempted to invade would have done more than broke up the coalition, it would have left around 500,000 troops surrounded by enemies on all sides, with no practical way to re-supply them.
The initial act of collapse would have created a huge weight gain, a sudden push downwards, like hitting the floors below with a sledgehammer.Quote:

considering a building like this has never collapsed from fire, they needed to make sure they went down.Quote:

the suicide front was to make it look like muslims did it
So who flew the planes?Quote:
