Strange - I Did Not Know This

From Powerline on the "consensus" to remove Saddam Hussein from Kuwait in 1991.

John Kerry, Joe Biden and 43 other Democrats voted to let Saddam Hussein keep Kuwait and expand his control over Middle Eastern oil from there, while continuing to develop nuclear weapons--which, we later learned, he would have had by 1992 or 1993, at the latest.

I think Obama meant "consensus" by the UN and world support. Of course, even that consensus was probably in large part from Saudi bribery. "We'll pay for it and then give you guys cheap oil in the aftermath," was the undercurrent. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
