Sheesh....Bush lied...I thought everyone knew that by now? It's been proven over and over and over again.
Um, did you forget WE GAVE HIM 6 MONTHS BEFORE WE INVADED, PLENTY OF TIME FOR HIM TO GIVE HIS FRIENDS THEM!
As far as Clinton believing Saddam was a threat...fine, I'll give you that, but what some of you on the right cannot begin to understand is...there's a big difference in believing someone is a threat, and marching our soldiers into a nation that never attacked us and displacing their government!
Yes but did you want to preserve "Human Rights", did you not forget the Kuwait war, where Saddams officers were ordered to kill their own soldiers. Or how about all of the people who dug their graves, and were later shot, under Saddams command, under any suspician that they would not be loyal to him. Hmmm...did you forget about that.
If Clinton had invaded Iraq, you right-wingers would be storming the White House and screaming for his head.
Actually there was a similar scandal that happened during Clinton's 8 years, where he wanted to go to war, but then the "Monica" factor came into play, and we all (Dems/Reps) all payed attention to that.

linton would've used strategic bombing, and stronger sanctions with much wider world support. He certainly wouldn't have marched into Iraq without overwhelming support from allied nations! Bush antagonized most of our allies when we had the world's sympathy after 9/11. Is this leadership?
Like that pill factory he destroyed! Precisely forced prices up for that medicine manfacturer, absolute genious! Lets get the UN invovled. First off the UN was created during WWII to allied against Hitler, since then it has slacked on helping the US in any way, yet we fund 2/3 of the costs to run it?
Also you fail to realize that UN soldiers have raped women in other countries, but since their UN, they get diplomatic immunity. By the way who are our allied nations, I bet you cant guess them!
I don't mean to be negative, but it's hard not to be, when we have a president who misleads the American people, and Congress, and picks and choses only the intelligence he wants to use to support this war...a war that we know now was in the planning stages long before the events of 9/11.
You have been negative the whole post, why stop now, why stop flamming, I mean who could pull off such a feat, and end on a positive note, nope not you! Presidents have always done the bait and switch, why you are so suprised about is that the person your angry with is not on "Your Party", if he was, it would be a whole different issue, now would it!
