I don't understand the logic in using the above quote. I would suggest
that the absence of WMDs in Iraq, shows that Clinton was successful in his
efforts, without the loss of 500 American soldiers and a couple of hundred
billion dollars.

Clinton's policy called for a regime change in Iraq.

Yes, but using diplomacy and a real coalition. One that wouldn't have
cost America 1000 lives, 10000 injuries and hundreds of billions of
dollars.

Bush's objective may not have been flawed, his methods certainly were.
