Bill Clinton makes the exact same case as Bush for war in Iraq. No one lied except Saddam, the entire world was being lied to by Saddam Hussein. He was pretending to be much bigger than he was. The Russians, British and French all had the same intelligence we did. |
Bush lied about there being WMD's, which Hussein denied, by the way, and gave that "intlligence" and the faked letter from Haboush (I can't remember how to really spell his name,
) to the others to win support.
It would have been nice to have known what we were getting into before hand. There were none of the fabled tries between Iraq and 911, there were no WMD's, and Saddam Hussein was not being too much of a threat. There is a mass of evidence pointing to this coming from everyone from journalists to McClellan. Dick Cheney said that invading Iraq would be a "quagmire." See, I can throw quotes back too
