Clinton didn't unilaterally invade Iraq and occupy the place with no Un support and no peace plan. WHo cares if Clinton thought Saddam had WMD's or not? That's irrelevant. Just a flimsy excuse by the neocons.

We had Saddam surrounded in 2002 with UN inspectors getting almost total access. Bush refused to wait to find out if the rumors were true, he just invaded. We now know that they had planned this war long before 9-11 and it had nothing to do with terrorism.

Also, Bushies continually said Saddam DEFINITELY had WMD's including a nuclear program which could be delivered at us. They knew that was false, that it was at the very least a big exaggeration. They took advantage of post 9-11 feelings to go into Iraq under the false flags of counter-terror and self-defense, and with no post-invasion plan.

This is not excuseable no matter what Clinton thought or didn't think. Besides, Clinton bombed the hell out of Saddam a few times.
