Why did George Bush Snr. and Colin Powell allow Saddam Hussein to remain in power? What did they know that his underachieving son didn’t?
According to some Iraqi’s, other than the oil-rich (autonomous) Kurdistan region in the North along the Turkish border (where oil companies are making money again), the country is a mess and while the spectacular bombings, both suicide and conventional, continue to make the news, the MSM is ignoring a another facet of daily life in the country – the targeted assassination of Iraqis who worked alongside and supported the Americans by Iranian surrogates. Many consider the situation there now to be worse than anything that existed under Saddam.
