Even with my ucla education I know the difference between had airstrikes and authorized airstrikes; one would indicate a passed act, the other gives permission for a potential act. The iraq war cheerleading squad…er…ny times should not be trusted on iraq ever again. they bombed them with food and water??? please tell me you were kidding.
