At fist it was unilateral regime change, then under understandable pressure a reluctant Bush goes to the UN while all along subverting it and calling it names in the press (no backbone was it? irrelevant? ) then it is disarmament or regime change depending on which WH official is speaking to the press, then it is the one bullet policy, now it's disarmament and, by the way, that's really the same as regime change. It would not surprise me to see the rethoric change back to "he must go" now that Bush has a majority in both houses. I don't intend this in a derogatory way, but you are truly ignorant of the process of negotiating, aren't you? Have you never purchased a major asset? A house, a car? Did you pay the asking price, or did you offer less than the seller asked? Can't you see what is happening here? Clinton created a terrible mess. Had Bush not demanded regime change, he would not have had a chance of getting so much as competent weapons inspectors. Learn from this mistake. When you have a weak, liberal president, he is going to screw up, just like LBJ, Carter, and now Clinton have done. A stronger leader, when elected, is going to have to apply extreme pressure to rectify it. That's what's happening here. When you start asking yourself, "Why didn't containment work?", the answer is, "Because Clinton was to weak and had no backbone to enforce it". Plain and simple, and clearly, the American people have seen it.

Al, <The administration's ways have been anything but clear.> It's been clear to me. Your conspiracy theories do not impress me, nor do your attempts at painting this administration as crooked and confused. Bush's consistency, honesty, and character helped win it for the GOP this year, a year where the GOP had more to lose than the Dems, a year that by tradition should have gone to the Democrats. Of course, guys like Daschle and McAuliffe will never figure it out. Will you? Tenchusatsu
