Prior to the Iraqi invasion, the Dems (ie. Daschle and company) were critical of Bush 41 for not taking out Saddam in 91 in defiance of the UN mandate that precluded him from doing so.
Then when W. wanted to take out Saddam a couple of months later, they flip-flopped, and suddenly, they were claiming that W had not made the case, and that W should not invade without UN authorization.
I don't know what the Boston Globe said at the time, but in 1990-91 a lot of Democrats were strongly against any military action even to get Saddam out of Kuwait--as I recall, it was a very close vote in the Senate to support the use of military force. Gore made up his mind which way to vote on the basis of which side would give him more minutes on prime-time television.
