After you posted that piece, I was curious what Republicans were saying about regime change in '98. For once, some politicians were consistent.... The entire article is pretty interesting reading considering the current situation. Hussein has had a "rope-a-dope" strategy with the US for years. cnn.com President Clinton's endorsement of the United Nations' pact with Iraq to allow weapons inspections may have staved off war, but it incensed congressional Republicans, who said they were dismayed with administration policy. GOP critics, who already held Clinton's record on foreign affairs in low regard, began carping about the deal with Iraq even before U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan returned from Baghdad on Feb. 24. They complained that the negotiations allowed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to remain in power and left his influence on the nature and scope of future inspections unclear. Saddam proclaimed the accord a triumph over the United States. snip
