That is close.

Quote:The invasion of Kuwait, however, crossed a line that the Bush Administration could not tolerate. This time Hussein's crime was far more serious than simply gassing to death another brood of Kurdish refugees. This time, oil was at stake.

But it glosses over the fact that Bush the First had a large hadron for invading Iraq even when Hussein was still an ostensible "ally". Saddam was simply stupid enough to take the CIA bait. When Bush the Second did it again, his apple didn't exactly have enough inertia to fall far from the tree, after all, he was merely wearing daddy's big-boy galoshes.


Edit: Meh, never mind. It doesn't matter any more. History will be recorded as appropriate. Statues will be made, statues will be torn down, all will erode to dust.
