Case closed.

Bethany,
I disagree. I think Clinton had the balls
to go to war. I also think that the events after
9/11 would have been very
similar. I think that secretly Clinton and the Democrats
are bitter that
they didn't get to be in power after 9/11. They resent the
nonpartisan
support an popularity that the country gave Bush post 9/11.
Clinton stated that Iraq was a threat, so it seems plausible to me
that he would have
gone into Iraq as well. I think he may have had an
easier time with the UN than
Bush did. If Clinton had gone into Iraq the
Democrats would be all for it saying that
it was a just war and the Saddam
was a tyrant and the civil rights violations alone
were enough to justify
going in there.
You are right ... It wouldn't be exactly for *any*
President to have history happen
the same way. I used the word "exactly" to
try an generate a discussion on partisan
politics by equaling the playing
field. Sorry you didn't want to play. <G>

Clinton
could/would have never handled Iraq or 9/11 the way Bush 43 has.
It
just isn't even
hypothetical.

I really don't see Clinton's quotes as
haunting *him*... they haunt the Democratic Party.
What if this was
the end of *Clinton's* first term and he had handled all of the
events
after 9/11 exactly as Bush has. Yes exactly... What would the
Republican candidates
be saying in there election speeches about
Clinton's foreign policies?
So who actually
was convinced that Saddam has/had weapons of mass destruction? Direct quotes
can certainly come back to haunt you. Read on.....
"One way or the
other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to
develop weapons of
mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That
is our bottom
line."
- President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
"If Saddam rejects
peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We
want to
seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass
destruction
program."
- President Clinton, Feb. 17,
1998
