The 1998 policy did not involve an invasion.

And yes, Bush had something to do with pushing the intelligence agencies to supply convenient evidence for his road to war. Had he come with all the evidence- that which weakened his case as well as the iffy intel that supported it, and had he not pushed his mouthpieces to say they were absolutely certain.... then I would agree with you, it would be pure partisanship for people to backtrack. But the evidence was so manipulated that I can understand what politicians, of left AND right, say now "If I had seen all the data, I wouldn't have supported it". I don't blame the left OR the right for being bamboozled- but I do blame anyone who continues to support a bamboozler.

It's easy for me to see the partisanship in what happened in the intel agencies, can you see it too?
