The Clinton administration judged the year 2000 as too volatile to pass the House resolution. President Clinton valued U.S.-Turkish relations, and the United States needed access to Turkish airbases to enforce the U.N.-mandated northern no-fly zone that helped protect Iraqi Kurds from Saddam. Clinton got then-House Speaker Dennis Hastert to kill the resolution.

I wasn't aware that the Clinton administration canned this thing. So the very same reason that Clinton stopped this from being voted on is why Pelosi is trying to bring it to the floor for a vote.

Hypocracy.

“So the very same reason that Clinton stopped this from being voted

Actually, I go along with Thomas Sowell’s analysis.
The Democrats are bringing up this particular resolution at THIS time
as a way to stop/cripple the Coalition efforts in Iraq.

The Democrats realize they run a very real risk of not taking
The White House if seen to stop the effort in Iraq by denying funds
to the US Military.

Instead, they are trying to cloak themselves in humanist glory by
bringing up a resolution about a genocide...
thus cutting off the easy route of getting supplies to our troops in Iraq.
