Bush won the war for Iran and Osama Bin Laden
The Iran-Iraq war is now over thanks to Bush and Iran may claim victory and they haven't lost a single soldier in the process.

Bin Laden "I want to fight Saddam an Infidel, I want to wage Guerilla War in Iraq" (1990 statement on Saddam invading Kuwait) is now sitting happy as one of his enemies has been toppled and Americans are dying.

REPEAT THIS OVER AND OVER EVERYONE!!!

1. It's true, the only reason that Iraq wasn't totally crushed against a much
more powerful and populous enemy, was that the Reagan and Bush Sr. administrations gave support and weapons to Saddam. He was considered an ally, back then, as bin Laden was in the war in Afghanistan with the Soviets.

BTW, it keeps being inaccurately reported that Saddam gassed the Kurds. That wasn't Iraq, it was the Iranians, as part of the fighting in the Iran-Iraq war. There were civilian casualties, but most of the dead were in uniform. And the gas that was used was that which Iran was commonly using, not Iraq. Saddam was a monster, but this is one atrocity that he's not responsible for and I don't understand the reason that those reporting this haven't done their homework. It's very easy to check. This is even one of the charges against Saddam, one that surprised him, when they were read.

I do know that bin Laden called Saddam "an Infidel." I mention this every chance I get. Saddam was a secular dictator. Osama bin Laden is an Islamic fundamentalist.
