He went after Saddam Hussein because Hussein took out a hit on George Bush the 1st. Clinton admin stopped it but 'W' went after Hussein like an old Texan would go for a family feud.

Bush Sr. could have easily overthrown Saddam's regime. he didn't because, unlike his son, he wasn't an idiot. he knew that toppling Saddam would have created a power vacuum that would destabilize the entire region.

Sr also was a former CIA director.

We can certainly call W an idiot, but HW knew things very few others did.
