It's finally Friday! (: So today in CWI we first went over the Asian maps. Then, we talked about Iraq again.Brun's told us about the cat and mouse game that Saddam played with us, like he would let the weapons inspector in, but make a lot of rules for them. And then he would kick them out. Then we would eventually crack down and get tough again and tell him that either he would let the inspectors back in or we would bomb them and go to war, so at the very last second he let them back in.We really won the Persian Gulf War, but people in Iraq said that they had won the war because Saddam still was in power and they were still a country. But they have been brainwashed into thinking this because Saddam sensored everything.Then Luke talked about why we entered Iraq in 2003. We were pretty sure they had weapons of mass destruction, so that was the reason for invasion. We felt they had those particular weapons because the CIA found out that Iraq had been buying uranium from African countries. Photos also contributed to this belief. We never found them, but it still looked like it. Some people now believe that he meant just for it to look like he had those weapons basically to scare Iran away so they wouldn't invade their country. He also wanted to send a message to Israel because he hates Israel.Another reason Haley mentioned was because he was one that supported terrorism and we needed to take him down early instead of letting him have power and create chaos.
