Oh yeah, blame Clinton.

Let's also blame Clinton for the missing WMD in Iraq.


Well, Clinton did declare Iraq had WMD. Was he lying?

No, and at the time, Saddam might very well have had WMD.
Besides, Clinton did not use that as justification for a unilateral war.

Huh? Clinton Bombed Iraq in 1994, 1996, and 1998. His war on Baghdad in 1998 used
more missiles than the entire 1991 Gulf War! And let's not forget about the
schools and hospitals that were bombed in Belgrade, the invasion of Haiti, the
super job he did in Somalia, and the aspirin factory bombing. At Temple U, did
you learn that "unilateral" means not alone but with 60"? Just curious. Keep it
up!

"Now, let's imagine the future. What if he fails to comply, and we fail to
act, or we take some ambiguous third route which gives him yet more
opportunities to develop this program of weapons of mass destruction and
continue to press for the release of the sanctions and continue to ignore
the solemn commitments that he made?

Well, he will conclude that the international community has lost its will.
He will then conclude that he can go right on and do more to rebuild an
arsenal of devastating destruction.

And some day, some way, I guarantee you, he'll use the arsenal."
