To quote the late and great Bill Hicks:
Quote:
You know during the Persian Gulf war those intelligence reports would come out: "Iraq: incredible weapons... incredible weapons."
...
"How do you know that?"
...
"Uh, well...we looked at the receipts."

Edit: Jesus, reading that website is blowing my mind.
Quote:

"The use of gas [during the Iran-Iraq war] on the battle field by the Iraqis was not a matter of deep strategic concern... We were desperate to make sure that Iraq did not lose". Colonel Walter Lang, former senior US Defense Intelligence officer tells the New York Times.

Quote:

Ted Kopple of ABC Nightline reports: "It is becoming increasingly clear that George Bush Sr., operating largely behind the scenes throughout the 1980's, initiated and supported much of the financing, intelligence, and military help that built Saddam's Iraq into [an aggressive power]."

After reading those quotes it became blindingly clear to me why Dubya chose to go after Saddam and Iraq rather than the true terrorist governments of Afghanistan and Iran. Mind boggling....it is just simply mind boggling...
