Most Dems said there were WMD there. And Clinton bombed the place, leaving it for his successor to finish the job.

Those are facts, not your revisionist history.

The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 is a United States Congressional statement of policy calling for regime change in Iraq. It was signed into law by President Bill Clinton, and states that it is the policy of the United States to support democratic movements within Iraq. The Act was cited in October 2002 to argue for the authorization of military force against the Iraqi government.

The bill was sponsored by Representative Benjamin A. Gilman (Republican, NY-20) and co-sponsored by Representative Christopher Cox (Republican, CA-47). The bill was introduced as H.R. 4655 on September 29, 1998. The House of Representatives passed the bill 360 - 38 on October 5, and the Senate passed it with unanimous consent two days later. President Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act into law on October 31, 1998.

You mean like the sanctions and the 1998 bombing by Bill Clinton - operation desert fox?

Or course Clinton was too busy with the lewinsky affair and impeachment to do anything at the time.

>> There was speculation on the part of Clinton but he never once suggested going to war.

Uh, not exactly. I think he was pretty clearly in support of the war starting at 02:00.
