WAR ON IRAK

SKYnews: Bush Sr. Warned Against Baghdad War In 1998


Another voice against the current action in Iraq comes from none other that President Bush's father, George Bush Senior.

"We should not march into Baghdad," he wrote in his 1998 book, A World Transformed.

"To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us and make a broken tyrant into a latter-day Arab hero...assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an unwinnable urban guerilla war.

"It could only plunge that part of the world into even greater instability."
