Everybody wanted Bush to go deal with Saddam <font color=red>if he had WMDs as Bush told us. <font color=black>There is absolutely no debate on that point. Your post sends a very clear message on that score. Ted Kennedy, John Kerry havs said that very clearly. I think that even Bill Clinton, with all the access he had to intellugence data feels the same way. But this is where the difference is. Bill Clinton did not launch an attack on Iraq since he was personally not very sure that Saddam had WMDs. He said so on Larry King Live. He questioned his intelligence folks very hard and did not come away with the feeling that the intelligence was all that robust. Hence he did not move forward to dislodge Saddam. After all Clinton was the President. He had to be personally convinced since the buck stopped with him. Clinton is not the type of a President who would turn around and blame someone else. Furthermore, Clinton also stated on teh show that he would not have gone about dislodging Saddam the way Bush did by chasing the International weapons inspectors out of Iraq. he said that he would have given the weapons inspectors the time they wanted to not only satisfy themselves but also the world community. So today. Bush and only Bush is responsible for the failure of the Iraq policy. He should have carried everybody along if not for anything else but for the insurance in case WMDs were not found. Now he has none to support him. MOre than 50% of the Americans now say that our Iraq policy is a failure.
