Members of the Clinton Administration kept what they inherited from the first Bush Administration: that Saddam was a bad man; that he had to be kept down; and that his bogeyman status provided great cover for political advantage. So it's not at all surprising to see the quotes you highlighted. Do you find it at all ironic, however, that each and every quote you cited was either post-Lewinsky or when Bush was making his pre-congressional election case for the war? Indeed, Clinton used his anti-Saddam card when pressured in the Lewinsky matter; and Democrats played their anti-Saddam cards when fed false information by the second Bush Administration. So what you cite is not surprising at all, especially when measured against the truth of it all. Sorry, GZ, but anti-Iraq agenda was GOPwinger-induced and dates all the way back to the first Bush Admninistration. Actually, the whole mess began when Reagan sent Rumsfeld to meet with Saddam in order to restore diplmatic relations with Iraq, and feed him weaponry for his war against Iran.
