I hate to point out the obvious to you...we are were we are because a prior non liberal president who had a huge army in the Iraqi desert, the support of the entire world and the Iraqi army on the run decided to turn back

I hate to point out the obvious to you -- the hypocrisy in your statement -- you, who has INSISTED on our engagement with Iraq ONLY through the UN, and chronic complainer about purported US Unilateralism, are now complaining that the former president did PRECISELY AS YOU ARE INSISTING THE CURRENT BUSH DO. He complied PRECISELY with the UN mandate, stopped when the mandate was accomplished. It is bizarre that you would be suggesting he should have gone to Baghdad.

He must have also believed that Saddam could be contained

I'm certain Bush 41 hadn't the slightest notion that he would be followed in office by the gross incompetence that WAS the Clinton administration. Had he had any idea that Clinton was going to give Saddam a pass, I think it highly likely he would have had second thoughts.
