tvoivozhd---the first Iraq war where Powell and  Bush I extracted defeat 
from victory, never ended---as you mention there was a Saddam $25,000 
reward for anyone bringing down a U.S. warplane enforcing the "No-Fly" 
zone.  The upside was that it gave us an opportunity to degrade Saddam's 
detection and communications systems across a long period of time so 
thety hardly existed when we went back full force in 2003---well, not 
FULL force---the White House Idiot saw to it that our best Fourth 
Armored did not participate in the invasion, and he saw to it that we 
did not have the half-million troops necessary to achieve quick, 
permanent and almost lossless victory in the aftermath.

The 2003 "invasion" was merely a long overdue ending of the 1993 to 2003 
war with Saddam.  Great idea to get rid of the SOB---which Bush I had 
not the sense to do.  The great risk to the U.S. was the coupling of 
Saddam's oil money to guerrilla warlords in the Mideast (I despise the 
"terrorist" appellation, it implies they are different than old-time 
guerrilla forces---totally untrue).  That risk included Saddam's 
financing of freely available (from Russia or North Korea) nuclear 
weapons, biological weapons and numerous delivery systems---missiles, 
guerrilla pilots in 747's or Airbuses, guerrillas in control of shipping 
containers, guerrillas with explosives, or biological weapons in 
tractor-trailers or any inconspicuous automobile.  Saddam's intent was 
clear, ever since that bastard Chirac conspired with him to to build the 
Osirak nuclear reactor to make bomb-grade plutonium, and sell him Roland 
missiles.

If anyone makes his intent clear to do you in,  you have to kill him 
first---not wait for another Twin Towers event. Forget about the 
"pre-emptive strike bullshit.  What you do not want most is for a 
pre-emptive strike on the U.S.---by sheer good luck, the Japanese 
pre-emptive strike at Pearl Harbor took out our ground aircraft, took 
out our battleships, but our aircraft carriers were accidentally at sea 
and escaped destruction.  Had that not been the case, it would have been 
enormously more expensive, or impossible to reverse the Japanese tide.  
I love pre-emptive strikes---those by the U.S. against a mortal threat.
