Word Box
“Trying to eliminate Saddam would have incurred incalculable
human and political costs. Apprehending him was probably
impossible. We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in
effect, rule Iraq. 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.” – George H.W. Bush Sr.
