And you yourself have stated that Iraq was lying and essentially never planned to comply. Yes, and the Germans, Russians and French who had closer ties with Iraq than US as well as the weapons inspectors who said that Iraq was lying since they could not find any WMD, was something the US did not want to believe. Again, I don't know why I am having trouble communicating this point. The US is not supposed to guess Saddam's mind. It should believe and trust what the other countries say. Clinton did that very successfully. You and I agree that both Clinton and Bush had access to the same level of intelligence being US Presidents. With that data Clinton approached it differently than Bush. He kept the terrorists on the run but never placed the US in an embarassing situation of not finding WMD and Al Qaeda link with Iraq. he played his politics so well that the G7 countries considered him a world leader. The same Chirac guy. I know the French don't like the US and Chirac did not like Clinton being respected as a world leader by the G7 leaders.
