55. So why did he support invading a middle eastern country
Unilaterally, without seeing a post-war plan, which will undoubtably create more terrorists?

Why was he so gung-ho on trying to attack Iraq? I have only done online research into the subject, but pretty much figured out that taking over a middle eastern country with loose borders that's surrounded by terrorist supporting nations, on a continent brimming with anti-american sentiment, which would take hundreds of thousands of troops to stabalize, was not a good idea.

Did he think it would "drain the swamp"? If so, he must of had his head where the sun don't shine during most of the 90's.
