On 21 September 2002, The Memory Hole posted an extract from an essay by 
George Bush Sr. and Brent Scowcroft, in which they explain why they didn't 
have the military push into Iraq and topple Saddam during Gulf War 1. 
Although there are differences between the Iraq situations in 1991 and 
2002-3, Bush's key points apply to both.

But a funny thing happened. Fairly recently, Time pulled the essay off of 
their site. It used to be at this link, which now gives a 404 error. If you 
go to the table of contents for the issue in which the essay appeared (2 
March 1998), "Why We Didn't Remove Saddam" is conspicuously absent.

Because of this erasure, we're posting the entire essay below the portion 
we originally excerpted. Below that, you'll find a copy of the actual page 
from the magazine ...
