    Some Condi “we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud” fear mongering right here.

    Supporting Saddam in the brutal Iran-Iraq war was bad enough, but these chickenhawks think we should’ve gotten our own troops involved and bombed a few thousand Persians ourselves. Just a “common sense” response to an “act of war” like seizing an embassy.

    Supporting Saddam was great realpolitik

    Was it? The Iraqi invasion was repelled and it ended in stalemate with the Iranian regime still in place and close to a million dead on each side when the fighting ended. Of course an idiot like you thinks that’s brilliant “realpolitik”. Mass unnecessarily death for the sake of your high-minded “realpolitik”. Was overthrowing Saddam in ‘03 brilliant “realpolitik” as well?

    A million dead on each side sounds to me like a good start.

    Well we created a "mindset" when we called them evil that made this all possible.

    It's almost as if @HardlyClothed isn't aware of a country called Kuwait.

    I'm a bit behind. I read back on page 2 that the case was closed and it was the end of the discussion.

    I guess not

    He had some old chemical weapons buried in the ground. That’s a far cry from being weaponized or the “smoking gun mushroom cloud” that we were sold. No active nuclear weapons program. No biological weapons. No weaponized chemical agents. And no evidence any of those materials would be given to Al Qaeda.
    He had chemical weapons that were supposed to have been destroyed, as per the unconditional surrender of Desert Storm. Weaponized chemical weapons that were buried to hide them from the inspectors. Don’t make it out that he misplaced his Tonka truck in a sandbox.

    No shit Sherlock. Iran is and has never been an existential threat in the way Nazi Germany was. But how can you have deterrence without a credible threat of force. Iran has is led by radical religious zealots and has been destabilizing the region for 40 years. If we had made them pay in 1979 the world would be a better place. Our getting it wrong on Iraq War 2.0 doesn’t change this.
    “Destabilizing the region” like when they prevented ISIS from sweeping through Damascus and Baghdad in 2015? I’m not big on Iran but pretending they’ve been a bigger force for destabilization than the Saudis is laughable. Or the single biggest event that destabilized the region in the 21st century, the Iraq War.
