There is no difference in the conclusions reached by the Clinton

administration decided to deal with the threat that all sides believed
existed. Clinton signed the Iraqi Regime Change Act and fired several
hundred crusie missiles at Iraq...and Bush finished the job with a
coordinated air campaign and ground assault.

Oh, come on, Clinton never signed an Iraqi Regime Change Act. He did sign
an Iraqi Liberation Act of 1998. It's scope and funding was quite
limited. Revising history isn't that easy when there is a public paper
trail.

Let's not split hairs about my capitalizing "Iraqi Regime Change Act". The
Iraqi Liberation Act called for regime change...and thus became known to
many as the "Iraqi regime change act". From Section 3:

SEC. 3. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD IRAQ.

It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove
the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the
emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime.
