So much there--“Invited”--well, I guess it depends on your definition--if I kick in your door and kill your family, I’ll say I was invited.

Won’t work--my family doesn’t have a huge stockpile of oil.

What is it that you think we would do with that huge stockpile of oil? Steal it?

   Nor did you supply me with chemical weapons in the 80’s out of a criminally short-sighted sense of expediency.

A lot of countries have them. Not many actually use them. Guns don’t kill; people do.

   Nor did you all but grant me permission to invade Kuwait just weeks before I did it.

Let’s face it-- SH was an idiot. The guy read the tea leaves all wrong. This is a guy who presumably had no WMDs, but led the world to believe that he actually did. A fabrication to which he clung that led to his fall from power. I’m sure that he didn’t think that the US would have the temerity to attack despite the misgivings of the UN, which he was well adept at manipulating.

   Nor did you defy the UN’s wishes and invade me for defying the UN’s wishes.


Oh, look. I just covered that above.
