Predictions about the War in Iraq 0

“A war — no matter how successful — will be 90 percent American and will be viewed as an American crusade by much of the Arab and Islamic world . . . .”

“When the war starts and the dying begins, the American people will have every right to ask, ‘Where are our allies?'”

Senator Sam Nunn in 1991.

Those comments did not come true about the first Gulf War, about which they were spoken.

But they certainly seem to have become real today.
