The subject was not Clinton -- it was the regime change policy under Clinton. The regime change policy under Clinton was put forward and backed with the specific proviso that it did NOT mean an invasion and occupation. Clinton's views after he was no longer President are irrelevant unless you are interested in him as an individual. The policy under Clinton was what you originally raised as an excuse to justify the war -- one of a long list of excuses.

As for: <That's why I supported the Iraq thing. There was a lot of stuff unaccounted for.> -- the US now cannot account for what it did or did not destroy in terms of plastics explosives. We did not invade Iraq because of accounting irregularities -- we invaded Iraq because our government was penetrated by ideologues who hijacked our foreign policy and sent us into Iraq to bomb them into democracy. So far it has been a case study in why "believing" is dangerous when all the best military minds were saying don't do it.
