I sina memoarer, "A World Transformed", från 1998 skriver George H. W. Bush följande om Irak och Saddam Hussein:
Trying to eliminate Saddam...would have incurred incalculable human and political costs. ... We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq. There was no viable "exit strategy" we could see, violating another of our principles. ... Had we gone the invasion route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land.
George W. Bush verkar inte lyssna fullt så mycket på sin far som det påstås.
