Clinton had just as big a desire to crack down on Iraq as Bush Sr and Bush Jr, but the opportunity didn't present itself during his administration.it was capitalized on in a big way by the most evil group of motherfuckers to hold power in US history.
I don't understand why people are blaming iraq on Bush - if Clinton or Gore were in the same position, they'd make very similar decisions because this iraq war machine was set in motion long, long before bush jr came into office.[/QUOTE]
I am in awe at how you can compare what someone DID and what someone in your mind may have wanted to do. I simply can not form an argument against an unsupported hypothetical.[/QUOTE]
Yeah...how does "Clinton might have done it had the timeline pushed it a couple years earlier" even come close to making it excusable?
It happened on Bush's watch, and going to Iraq was a decision made by his administration...as staffed by his father's ex-Cabinet.
