Democrats singing different Iraq tune

Democratic leaders who question President Bush's war-making plans to oust Saddam Hussein from power were aggressively urging President Clinton to take "all necessary and appropriate" military action to deal with Iraq in 1998.

When Saddam was defying access by U.N. weapons inspectors, Democrats were enthusiastically defending Mr. Clinton's decision to bomb Iraq in the midst of House impeachment proceedings against him in December 1998. Earlier that year, Mr. Clinton was warning of the dangers that Iraq posed to the United States and its allies, making a case that is very similar to Mr. Bush's justifications for military action now.

It’s just like everything else they say. When Republicans cut taxes they are stealing from the children but when democraps spend money on saving the checkered duck they are getting it from god.

The RATs are not only blatant hypocrites, they are scheming liars, too. All of them.

It makes one wonder how much of a political football Iraq is for both sides. It was urgent that Clinton stop him or he'll use his WMDs. Now 4 yrs later its urgent Bush stop him. Clinton had Monica to avoid, Bush has the economy to save and an election to boot. Oh well, if we dont do it now, I'm sure someone else will need to in the future.

(One sure way to get get Dems behind it this time is to announce Saddam is killing spotted owls.)

Yea... Saddam swallows live snail darters to ensure regularity. ;^D

[McGavin999]

The democrats have been caught with their pants down (just like their ex-president) can't help but wonder if they'll be bright enough to pull them up.

True to form, party before country.

[McGavin999]

Yeah, I guess 9-11 was just one of those "political incidents" too hummmmm?

Get real, Saddam SHOULD have been taken care of in 1998, Clinton just didn't know how to do it. That wasn't his area of expertise since Saddam didn't have any interns.

Actually, Saddam should have been taken care of back in 1991. And there lies the problem. The Dems and talking heads, keep saying that Bush needs to go through the UN. I wish someone would come out and say that going through the UN got us into this mess in the first place. Back in 1990, the UN resolution was to oust Saddam out of Kuwait (whatever), not to topple Saddam. The argument could be made that had we not followed the UN mandate, we would be worrying about Saddam today. Going through the UN causes more problems in the future - but most of us already know that.
