Yes, but Rubin does his best to imply that the US was getting good cooperation from the UNSC until those bozos from the Bush administration began pounding the drums for war:

Support for the Bush administration's Iraq policy should not have been so hard to gain. After all, Baghdad was in clear violation of a series of UN Security Council resolutions. And Bill Clinton had also deemed Iraq a substantial threat, both because of its apparent capability to field weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and because of its demonstrated willingness to use them. For those reasons, coupled with Saddam's history of gross human rights violations and his refusal to comply with the demands of the international community, the Clinton team had also supported regime change in Iraq.

To anybody who remember's Clinton's travails in the UNSC, the implication is scarcely fair. True, the Clinton administration also supported regime change in Iraq. Did he get any international support for it?
