Or even bush 1's initial OK for Saddam to invade Kuwait, then to feign anger and objections to it?

Are you saying Israel played no part in our equations, no role in how we decided to invade?

How many times did Cheney state that it was our duty and right to protect our closest democratic allies while we kicked saddam's ass? Or was it a donkey? Mule? Arabian steed? Soviet T-72 tank?
