Before the Gulf War, 11 years ago, President George H.W. Bush voted against The Authorization of Saddam Hussein’s army. Despite the warnings of Biden, the gulf war was decided and a few Americans died in that war.

The following few years, after widespread criticism of the vote, Biden began to show strong international standing, such as his support for the Us position in the Balkan Civil War, the bombing of Iraq, and the establishment of occupation in Afghanistan.

When President George W. Bush proposed a fresh war in Iraq, Biden was strongly supportive of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction.
