Cohen, a former Republican senator from
Maine, said that the pending impeachment
of President Bill Clinton in the U.S. House
played no role in the decision to bomb
Iraq.

"I have come to the conclusion, looking at
the facts, that this was in America's national
security interests," Cohen said. "I am
prepared to place 30 years of public
service on the line to say the only factor
that was important in this decision is what
was in the American people's best interest. There were no other
factors."

Shelton said logistical considerations, including the pending arrival of a
second aircraft carrier, made Wednesday the right time to launch the
attack and that the military plan had been approved back in
November. "I wholeheartedly supported the president's decision," he
said.
