O.T. Did I Really Say That: How soon they forget
"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to
develop
weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our
bottom line."
- President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
You know, I'm surprised that a Bush apologist would ever post this. Look at the
statement by Clinton. In 1998, Clinton is
concerned about denying Iraq "the capacity to develop" weapons of mass
destruction. By one means or another.
Just a few years later, Bush announces that Iraq has been stockpiling all sort
s of evil crap for many years, has a huge pile that he's just aching to dump on
the US, and that our only course of action is a military invasion and a regime
change.
You know what is so easily overlooked anymore? That "accounting" for the WMD
that the US demanded and that Iraq delivered last winter. The enormously
detailed, several thousand page document that Bush dismissed as "all lies!"
almost as soon as it was received. So far, the evidence (or lack of same)
suggests that the Iraqi accounting was a lot more accurate than Bush's
characterization of same as a "lie."
