While the Democrats are screaming about why Bush invaded Iraq, it might be helpful to recall Clinton's justification for undertaking his 4-day bombing of Baghdad back in 1998.
The timing was interesting. The bombing commenced on December 17, the SAME DAY that the House of Representatives was scheduled to vote on the Articles of Impeachment.
The objective was to delay the vote until the end of the term, so that the vote would be taken up in the new term where there would be more Democrats seated (and thus a greater likelihood that Clinton would win the vote and avoid impeachment).
With great self-righteousness, the Democratic House leadership publicly called for a postponement of the impeachment proceedings, arguing that it would be inappropriate to impeach the president while our troops were in harms way, and when it was crucial that all Americans show their support for the President during hostilities.
The House agreed to postpone the vote, but only for one day, and it was held on December 18. As soon as it became evident that Clinton's ploy would not derail the proceedings, the bombing campaign was called off.
Incidentally, Congress NEVER voted to allow Clinton to undertake this bombing.
So now that the Democrats are falling all over themselves screaming that Bush lied about the reasons to invade Iraq, let's all take every opportunity to remind the American people of the Democrats' self-serving and hypocritical support of Clinton's outrageous action.
Incidentally, Congress NEVER voted to allow Clinton to undertake this bombing.
No vote from Congress...or from the U.N.? Gee...hmmm...there's a word that comes to mind...it starts with "uni"...damn...what is it...unique...unisex...unibomber...uniform...unitarian...oh, I know...UNILATERAL!!!
