Only in America would that be seen as a more serious offense than starting
a
war on false pretenses.

You assume that because the intelligence didn't prove to be entirely
correct
that it was a fabrication, but I've seen no evidence of that being true.
I've
looked at the same intelligence, most of it is available at the UN or
www.globalintelligence.com, or even at the CIA website, and it all pointed
to
the same conclusion, that Saddam was still pursueing programs to develop
WMD.
The only difference in any of the was to the extent he was being
successful and
how to deal with it.

Intelligence is often inaccurate. The bad guys are trying to keep you from
finding things out and often your source of information is indirect. Even
Humintel can get chancy, these sources often have scores to settle or
their own
agenda.

The real offense Clinton committed was that the prejured himself when
questioned about the having oral sex. Even that really didn't go very far.

Only in America could getting accurate confirmation of intelligence before
starting a war be of greater importance than telling the truth about who you
had oral sex with.
