Has nothing to do with LIKING Clinton.

It is not those who use the term "Islamo-Fascism" who are sullying the name of Islam; it is the Islamo-Fascists. - Dennis Prager

A concern of the GOP is that the people aren't informed enough to understand their policies, while a fear of the Dems is that the people WILL understand them.

So what's your point exactly? You're an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in mystery.

You said that Saddam was irrelevant. I disagreed. There was the U.N., and it's 17 Resolutions, and also the Clinton administration, which saw Saddam as a threat, long before W even ran for office.

That's my point.

Yeah, we really should spend that money wisely - on, say, invading Iraq and occupying it. Now THAT is a smart way to blow a trillion bucks or so...

Sure. Saddam was an o.k. guy. So were his sons too.

" They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself. "

Never claimed that Saddam was "an o.k. guy". He was an asshole. Thing is, he was THEIR asshole to deal with, not ours.

You okay with just pissing away a trillion bucks on every pisspot dictator who falls out of favor with us, just on the basis of them not being "an o.k. guy"? If you are, quit bitching about government waste, 'cause Dubya wasted PLENTY of money - and well over 4000 American lives - tilting quixotically at non-threatening "threats".

Ahh... I see. So you're saying Bush was just as wrong as they were. Awesome!

it wasn't a waste of $$ or lives, Quite the contrary, it's what our founding fathers had imagined us doing from the very start.

But never mind that. Think more about how we'll ever get out of Obama's Enorumulus tax / spend bill instead.

The Clinton Administration's Case Against Saddam
George W. Bush wasn't the first president to understand the threat from Saddam Hussein's Iraq.

FORMER VICE PRESIDENT Al Gore recently told an audience that "the [Bush] administration did not hesitate to heighten and distort public fear of terrorism after September 11th, to create a political case for attacking Iraq." With this in mind, I would to like draw your attention to a Project brief entitled, The Clinton Administration's Public Case Against Saddam Hussein. Some highlights:

* The New York Times reported that at the November 14 [1997] meeting the "White House decided to prepare the country for war." According to the Times, "[t]he decision was made to begin a public campaign through interviews on the Sunday morning television news programs to inform the American people of the dangers of biological warfare." During this time, the Washington Post reported that President Clinton specifically directed Cohen "to raise the profile of the biological and chemical threat."

* On November 16, Cohen made a widely reported appearance on ABC's This Week in which he placed a five-pound bag of sugar on the table and stated that that amount of anthrax "would destroy at least half the population" of Washington, D.C."

* In an article ("America the Vulnerable; A disaster is just waiting to happen if Iraq unleashes its poison and germs," November 24, 1997), Time wrote that "officials in Washington are deeply worried about what some of them call 'strategic crime.' By that they mean the merging of the output from a government's arsenals, like Saddam's biological weapons, with a group of semi-independent terrorists, like radical Islamist groupswho might slip such bioweapons into the U.S. and use them."
* In Sacramento, November 15, Clinton painted a bleak future if nations did not cooperate against "organized forces of destruction," telling the audience that only a small amount of "nuclear cake put in a bomb would do ten times as much damage as the Oklahoma City bomb did." Effectively dealing with proliferation and not letting weapons "fall into the wrong hands" is "fundamentally what is stake in the stand off we're having in Iraq today."

* He [President Clinton] asked Americans to not to view the current crisis as a "replay" of the Gulf War in 1991. Instead, "think about it in terms of the innocent Japanese people that died in the subway when the sarin gas was released [by the religious cult Aum Shinrikyo in 1995]; and how important it is for every responsible government in the world to do everything that can possibly be done not to let big stores of chemical or biological weapons fall into the wrong hands, not to let irresponsible people develop the capacity to put them in warheads on missiles or put them in briefcases that could be
exploded in small rooms. And I say this not to frighten you."

I'm not sure we will. This may be the beginning of the end.

Can you show me the part where Clinton launched an invasion of Iraq, since you claim it wasn't W's idea?
