There is no doubt that Clinton also believed Saddam had WMD. That won't stop the DNC and their willing accomplices in the press from screeching the "Bush lied" mantra from now until the election.
The RNC can just run ads of the Tapes of Clinton saying the EXACT same claims of Iraqi WMDs that Bush said.
We've got Clintoon on tape talking about Iraqi WMDs.
This is no major problem for Bush.
Clinton did not believe Saddam had WMDs, he only asked that they provide him with evidence that Iraq had WMDs so he could justify bombing Iraq anytime he needed to distract from problems at home.
Clinton was a sociopath. I don't think its a good strategy to compare Clinton with Bush on any level.
I will wait for a full interview, last thing I trust is a phone interview with Reuters.
Let them scream and yell all about WMD. It's power is sunsetting rapidly. Common Americans will ask themselves, as it pertains to the Iraq War, "Was it right or was it wrong?"
The American Public will respond, "It was right." They have responded as so already.
If the only issue the Dems have is the Iraq War, they will lose...big time. That's why Kerry, although still straddling the Iraqi fence, is trying to push the domestic issues.
Bush ins't vulnerable on the nation's security and foreign policy. He's vulnerable on some domestic issues. That vulnerability, with every new positive financial/jobs/economy story continues to dissipate.
By June/July, with the campaign in full swing, the economy will be really doing well, Iraq will have their own government, Afghanistan will continue to flourish, Bin Laden will be further neutralized and the French, Germans, Russians and the UN will have nothing to do.
I'm positive about America's future. So is President Bush. Any attempt by the Dems to sap that optimism will be met with silent votes against unending pessimism.
