The war in Iraq started with Clinton signing the 1998 Iragi Liberation Act. Clinton and leading Dems said Saddam had WMD.
Clinton goofed off his remaining time in office and left the war for Bush.
If Iraq ever had some third rate chemical WMD’s, it was not an urgent threat to security of United States.
Much bigger threats existed and still exist in North Korea who has nukes and on fast track to develop missile delivery systems to reach US. How about Pakistan, which infested with Jihadists, has more Madrassah’s than anywhere else, Taliban was conceived and nurtured by ISI of Pakistan, and that country has at least 100 nukes.
Saddam was carrying on a charade of possessing WMD’s mainly to dissuade his bigger and more powerful enemy, Iran, from invading Iraq.
So with Bush’s Iraq invasion, we have handed Iran the gift of a weakened and fragmented Iraq on a silver platter. Talk about stupid foreign policy!
