- UncleEntity 8y agoYou know Bush Sr. also invaded Iraq which very few people would consider to be "helping" Saddam Hussein, right?

I'm of the personal opinion that Bush Jr & Co. were just looking for any flimsy excuse to dispose Saddam because he tried to assassinate his father after he was out of office. Oh, and the oil...
