Clinton's only action, other than parroting the above in speeches, was

believe it was a "wag the dog" effort to distract media attention from

Yup, Clinton lobs a few cruise missiles and he is accused of "wag the
dog". Imagine, if he had done what GWB did. What would you be saying
then? Probably, quite similar things to what are being said about GWB.
You don't preemptively invade a country on faulty intelligence. This is
Bush's war, he deserves all the lambasting he gets.


If he had done what GWB did, but did it back in 1998, there very well have
never been a 9/11.
Now don't go blowing smoke about Iraq having nothing to do with 9/11. It's
the engagement and weakening of al Qaeda and it's many terrorist
organizations/factions across the globe that has, so far, been effective in
preventing another attack. There are no "good" terrorists and that included
Saddam.

Another thing Bush warned us of, which is now often forgotten, especially
around the election cycles.
He warned us that it's going to be a long, long fight.
