Stop. Again, most leading Dems advocated such action well before
Bush took office.
The fact that Clinton didn't is somewhat of a mystery.

Maybe Bill didn't trust the intel. I wouldn't trust a word from certain
federal intel or police agencies, e.g., the FBI.

Yet most of the Democratic leadership at the time, well before Bush took
office, trusted the intel and advocated action. You've been provided
with a partial list. The names are very familiar.

Why didn't Big Bill do something?

Because he thought doing so would be...stupid?

BTW, "advocating" sometimes is done for political posturing. You know
that, right?

The point remains.



The point remains that the whole damn thing is a massive screw-up and the
"blame" (if that's what it's called), should be shared equally between
political parties and administrations. I am not excusing Bush for screwing
things up, but I also don't believe for a moment that all the blame should
be directed to him or his administration.

That's one reason I respect Joe Lieberman. He was one of the Democrats,
pre-Bush, who talked about the threat Iraq posed and potential action. He,
unlike the rest of his Democratic associates who sang the same tune but now
waffle or deny, stuck to his guns.
