    Fun fact: at 1:02 the guy who "is angry as hell" is wearing a Keyshawn Johnson jersey. Keyshawn a former first overall draft pick, had recently joined the buccaneers for the 02-03 season and he helped the offense get better and won a super Bowl. He didn't work out that good afterwards in Tampa, but it's such a nice touch considering this is supposed to be 2002.

      Gotta correct you on this: Keyshawn joined them from the Jets in 00-01, not 02-03. Played two years with Dungy in Tampa, won the SB with Gruden, but their working relationship turned sour and he was cut in the middle of 03-04 as the Bucs slipped to 7-9 and missed the playoffs.

      I’d argue the crime of legalizing and fooling a billion people into consuming mass quantities of slow acting poison (aspartame) was, on balance of overall suffering, WORSE.
      He also lobbied to keep stevia, already in use by Japanese diet sodas, off the American market, successfully until 2007, and has only recently become a common, well known option.
      But he excelled at spreading misery in both quantity AND quality, depending on his focus. All that simply because governor Regan naively trusted an old highschool buddy he hadn’t even seen in decades. He didn’t pick Rumsfeld, advisors from Rumsfeld’s inner circle, particularly Congressman Cheney, did.

      @@hanif-pl5hd Benjamin Netanyahu might have voiced support for the Iraq invasion, but that was just his personal opinion as a private citizen, not as Foreign Minister. His view didn’t reflect Israel’s official stance on the matter. When Israel feels directly threatened, it usually acts on its own. For example, in 1981, Israel bombed Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor, and during the Gulf War, it responded directly to Iraqi threats. So the idea that Israel would hold back and let the U.S. “do the dirty work” doesn’t line up with how Israel typically handles its security.
      Israel didn’t have a clear policy pushing for Saddam’s removal, but there was a reasonable interest in seeing him gone once the invasion began. Saddam’s support for terrorism, like funding the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, and his brutal campaigns against his own people-including chemical attacks on Kurdish civilians-made him a dangerous figure in the region.
      So, while a few individuals in Israel might have supported the idea of toppling Saddam, the government itself wasn’t pushing for the invasion. Any support after it was underway was more about securing regional stability than trying to nudge the U.S. into a war on Israel’s behalf.

      They really were not. Israel's primary enemy in the region was Iran. Iran and Iraq had fought a very long war and while Israel had no love whatsoever for Saddan, they thought of him as a necessary buffer to keep Iran in check.
      It is not that Israel didn't want to assist the US taking out Saddan, is that they understood first had the hell that this would unleash. I have several officer friends in the IDF and the general concensus from leadership was that taking out Saddan's regime would have long concequences for Israel.
      Today's current situation with Iran and its proxies shows that they were right and we made a terrible mistake.

He did this purely because he had been expelled from Iraq decades earlier for being a con man and a shyster and he wanted to regain power and influence in his home country by any means necessary.
