108. He didn't need popular support
Edited on Sun Nov-23-03 08:37 PM by GreenArrow
He enforced the sanctions, he continued the policy of regular bombings, flyovers etc. that kept Sadaam in check. The policy of regime change came to fruition during his presidency. See the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 . He would have had popular support. No one in this country likes Sadaam. Can you imagine the Republicans thwarting him on the issue of taking Sadaam out? He'd have needed a damn good reason, but they would hav gone along. Instead, he ensured that Sadaam was weak for when the time was ripe.
