Do I detect a hint of sarcasm? I participated in Operation Northern Watch for 2 deployments. Saddam agreed to the northern no-fly zone as part of his surrender. We partrolled that are along with coalition forces during a time a cease fire and while we were doing that Saddam was regularly wheeling out SAM sites to shoot at coalition aircraft. I don't appreciate being shot at during a time of cease fire. Why it took 17 resolutions, 12 years and a bunch of BS excuses from a dumbass from Texas to kick his ass is beyond me. None the less, shooting at us during a time of cease fire is enough reason to kick his ass, IMHO.
In a perfect world, we wouldn't have been there at all. However since we were there, the UN has shown the world that it is impotent in dealing with people like Saddam, because members of the security council kept vetoing action due to the kick backs they were getting from Saddam. Can you say "conflict of interest"?
OK, I think I'm done with that rant now.
