Bush, in 1998, and not having access to all the data, did not want to second guess the administration, even though it appeared to be a clear case of "Wag the Dog."
Now, 3 years later, there are better links/ties between Al Quaeda and Iraq, and our actions are clearly justified ... but the same Media won't use the same "benefit of the doubt" that was given to Clinton. ... and the DummyCrats - who were willing to ignore a lying rapist to bomb an aspirin factory - want to hold Bush to impossible standards.
Go figure!!
