Operation Desert Fox was the codename given to the 1998 US and British bombing campaign against targets in Iraq. The stated purpose of this operation was to weaken Saddam’s base of power in Iraq, and to degrade his ability to manufacture and use weapons of mass destruction.
Now here is where I want to throw in my 2 cents worth. Do you all remember the Rodney King beatdown that President Bush got when we didn’t find any weapons of mass destruction in our last invasion of Iraq? We should keep in mind that President Clinton thought that Saddam had these weapons also. As a matter of fact he thought so strongly enough to bomb the facilities where he thought they were located.
Now you will proceed to ask me, if he had them why didn’t we find them? Well Grasshopper the answer to that is very simple. I will answer you with a question. What do you do with things that you don’t want anyone to find? I know I hide them myself.
When I would buy Christmas gifts for members of my household I would hide them with the house cleaning supplies because I knew no one was going to go there. Well now you will ask where could he have possibly put them. We searched the entire country? My answer to this Grasshopper is that he put them in another country. A place where he knew we wouldn’t be going. Do you remember how Saddam sent his Air Force to Iran during operation Desert Storm? Now Iran has nukes, what a coincidence. We are all creatures of habit.
Getting back to the subject, this operation was declared a success but it still didn’t weaken Saddam enough for him to be overthrown. The US was criticized for this attack and we really don’t know all of the details, but I really don’t think that we bombed Iraq because the President was bored and wanted some excitement. You may or may not agree with my accessment of the situation which is fine, but if one day you discover that it is true remember that the military ring man told you first.
