Some of you Bush blaming asshats have apparently forgotten about the "Iraq Liberation Act" signed by Bill Clinton Oct, 31 1998. It passed the House 360-38 and passed the Senate with UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

"The Act found that between 1980 and 1998 Iraq had:

1.committed various and significant violations of International Law,
2.had failed to comply with the obligations to which it had agreed following the Gulf War and
3.further had ignored Resolutions of the United Nations Security Council."

The Act declared that it was the Policy of the United States to support "regime change."

President Clinton stated in February 1998:
"Iraq admitted, among other things, an offensive biological warfare capability, notably, 5,000 gallons of botulinum, which causes botulism; 2,000 gallons of anthrax; 25 biological-filled Scud warheads; and 157 aerial bombs. And I might say UNSCOM inspectors believe that Iraq has actually greatly understated its production.... Over the past few months, as [the weapons inspectors] have come closer and closer to rooting out Iraq's remaining nuclear capacity,..."

After 911, and Saddam's continued intransigence, Pres. Bush constantly referred to the "Iraq liberation Act" as another justification of taking out Saddam. At that time, it was accepted as fact that Iraq was the most dangerous regime in the Middle East. BTW, he was offering a $25K payment to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers during the Intifada of the early 2000's.

Naturally, Clinton pretty much disappeared during this time, proving to be the disingenuous weasel that he truly is. Once he saw the polls start to turn, Clinton was not going to say anything supporting the actions of the next President, even though by his former actions and speech, he could and should have.

You get out much?

They spent trillions of dollars of the American treasure, thousands of American lives on this BS and you're worried about offending the United Nations?

This might be somewhat of a shock to you Mr. mule, but the UN is not your friend.

In fact, Bush was one of the worst presidents in the past 100 years, who nearly singled handily made American citizenship pointless and made the GOP as popular as public pay phones.

In fact, your hero allowed in more Muslims AFTER 911 than the previous two decades.

Gezzz..
