Quoting from Wiki:

The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 is a United States Congressional
statement of policy calling for regime change in Iraq.[ It was signed
into law by President Bill Clinton.

The Act found that between 1980 and 1998 Iraq had:

1.. committed various and significant violations of International Law,
2.. had failed to comply with the obligations to which it had agreed
following the Gulf War and
3.. further had ignored Resolutions of the United Nations Security
Council.
"He will then conclude that he can go right on and do more to rebuild an
arsenal of devastating destruction. And some day, some way, I guarantee
you he'll use the arsenal.... President Clinton ~ 1998"

Bush lied?

Bush invaded Iraq in 1998? If he had, his argument about WMD might of
been accurate. The question remains, did Saddam have WMD in 2003? As it
was, in 1998, when Clinton bombed Iraq in Operation Desert Fox,
Republicans were claiming it was to distract the country from Clinton's
impeachment trial. Remember Wag the Dog?



Yes I do. I have some strong opinions/conclusions in my mind about how we
ended up in Iraq, but they aren't important
to anyone other than me.

I think there is an incredibly strong push from both political sides to
simplify a complex issue into a ****ing contest for votes.
It's sickening, and the influence has spread to affect many people's
thinking. Or non-thinking. It serves to do nothing but divide the country
into a simple "left" or "right" persuasion. I've never seen anything like
it in my 60 years on this planet.

It's why I strum guitars now.
