Gore, Bush Seem Committed To Ousting Saddam Hussein
Wall Street Journal
June 28, 2000
Capital Journal
.....
Lest anyone miss the point, Mr. Gore's office issued a statement declaring: "The vice president reaffirmed the administration's strong commitment to the objective of removing Saddam Hussein from power, and to bringing him and his inner circle to justice for their war crimes and crimes against humanity."
.....
PRIVATELY, GORE ADVISERS talk of a kind of three-step process for going after Saddam. Step one would be to turn the Iraqi National Congress, still a young and frequently querulous organization, into a unified voice that can win international respect. Step two would be to use that international respect to persuade Iraq's neighbors to let the opposition operate from their territory. Step three would be to figure out how to move -- and whether to try to precipitate a crisis that creates an opening.

Unfair Brumar. Thats when clinton and the dems were hawks on iraq. Lets not remind Jacob, Noel and co. of that fact. Wonder if we can find their posts from 1998 urging on Clinton in kosovo, iraq etc. while republican conservatives of the non-neocon ilk cringed as I did. 9/11/2001 made us all neocons except for those democrats who think any war not initiated by them is a bad one. Oh the hypocrisy. Mike

Wow, the list of neocons must be getting huge, 360 votes! And we'll have to add Bill Clinton to the list as well.

I suppose it depends on your definition of "neocon" or something. :)
