Actually the likes of Biden had ample time to have the war on Iraq had they wanted it, but all they really wanted was endless sanctions so they could collect oil voucher bribes indirectly from Saddam through al Khafaji and Samir Vincent. That’s why Clinton never did anything serious about Iraq, and fled with his tail tucked between his legs from Somalia, which was the act of cowardice bin Laden said gave him the inspiration for attacking the US.
Interestingly, about Somalia. I remember 91 to 92 after Daddy Bush lost the election he sent US troops into Somalia. I remember thinking at the time that he was trying to sabotage the Clinton presidency. Or give a gift to the war machine. It was a totally lame duck operation and truly he should not have done it. The Bush family is a scourge on America using Conservative victories to promote crony capitalists.
