That would be the bit where he's saying he'd gladly have had Saddam remain in power murdering, torturing, raping civilians? I'd mention mass graves, but as the substantial numbers of victims found isn't apparently as substantial as first reported, yet still portrays Saddam in a bad light, some people try to suggest they're insignificant and shouldn't be discussed. I wonder why...
You probably missed the bit where he made the distinction over the balls up that happened and how it would have been done properly if he had been President.
Oh no, wait, he didn't make that distinction, nope, instead he re-affirmed the "screw them, they're only Shia and Kurds" view that some "liberals" portray.
Next someone will be suggesting that the lack of support was down to nations caring more about their soldiers than playing politics due to the financial gains that would be missed out on should Saddam have been removed from power.
Then there'll be the suggestion that those who took action only did so for financial gain, while ignoring the paradox of the two views.
