The Iraq War Is Unfinished Bush Family Business

Saddam Hussein stayed in power longer than his adversary, the purported victor in Desert Storm, George Herbert Walker Bush.Hussein was able to gloat while the elder Bush yielded power to Bill Clinton.W came into office with a plan to restore the family's prestige.

He was going to succeed where his dad had failed.And now, based on recent revelations, we can see from conversations W had with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, an invasion was going to take place whether weapons of mass destruction were found, or not.W wanted a pretext, any pretext, in order to justify vindicating his embarrassed family.To paraphrase Lyndon Johnson during Vietnam, W was going to nail Hussein to the barnyard door.This war, in other words, may be less about American national security or even about securing the oil supply than we ever thought.

The 2,000 plus American warriors killed, the tens of thousands wounded, our diminished treasury, and nearly bankrupt political capital in Arab countries, may be largely the result of W's desire for personal payback.No wonder his rhetoric is so black and white, that he merges the war on terror with the events that take place in Iraq.Like anyone with an axe to grind, W is searching in vain for a principled reason to keep America there.

If W fails, maybe President Jeb Bush can get the job done.When it comes to restoring tarnished family honor, perhaps three times is the charm!.
