Precisely. Clinton talked about the problems with Iraq but was smart

enough not to invade it and stick around, while Bush was dumb enough to

be talked into invading Iraq and sticking around. Clinton was smart

while Bush was...Bush.



BTW, I don't *hate* Bush. Why do you conservatives toss that "hate" word

around so much? I think Bush was a total failure, a moron, and a man

easily manipulated by the neocons, but I don't hate him.







400 cruise missiles fired into suspected weapons facilities by Clinton

wasn't exactly "talking" about the problem. Plus, it wasn't just

Clinton. It was most of Congress and Clinton's entire Cabinet that were

warning of WMDs in Iraq and Hussein's increasing refusal to adhere to

the UN Resolutions agreed to after the Gulf War.



Clinton called Saddam "the greatest threat to peace" and, by signing

the "Iraq Liberation Act" in 1998, officially established a US policy

calling for regime change in Iraq.



Seems to me that the seeds for the invasion of Iraq were planted long

before Bush took office and the reasons for planting the seeds were

pretty much the same ones that you complain about so often today.





Harry keeps forgetting that his sweety, Hillary, was one of the

biggest supporters of that invasion, along with the rest of the neocon

democrats. The vote in congress was bi-partisan and very lopsided.

Krause is a *true believer* that cannot be convinced differently, regardless of any sound presentation of truthful evidence.



He also ignores the fact that the Bush administration used the same
arguments in support of taking military action against Iraq that Bill
Clinton and his administration had used. In fact, it was Bill Clinton
who signed the Iraq Liberation Act (voted on and passed by the United
States Congress) that established a US policy calling for regime change
in Iraq. Reasons were the continued and increasing defiance of UN
Resolutions by Saddam Hussein.

Bush and Co. executed that policy.

You are correct. It's a religious experience for Harry. History and
facts don't matter if they offend or are at odds with his worship of
everything liberal and Democratic.
