OH! You wanted an argument.
Here you go....
See my next post, you’ll love it.
First, Bill Clinton and the entire Senate, thats all 100 senators, signed the 1998 Iraq Liberation Act. The state goal was to overthrow Saddam Insane and his entire regime and replace it with a democratic government.
That is a fact:
The Act found that between 1980 and 1998 Iraq had:
1. committed various and significant violations of International Law,
2. had failed to comply with the obligations to which it had agreed following the Gulf War and
3. further had ignored Resolutions of the United Nations Security Council.
See here for a quick Wiki that makes it a short read:

Dont forget to read the part where Clinton states categorically what Iraq admitted to.
Bottom line we knew as did the French, Germans, Italians, South African Nations, N. Korea(our intel on them) and many others what Saddam was attempting to acquire and what he already had
WHICH INCLUDED:
550 METRIC TONS of YELLOW CAKE. USED FOR MAKING NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
MORE THAN 500 SARIN AND MUSTARD GAS LACED BOMBS.
There is plenty more but lets look at some of the lefts vaunted leaders and what they had to say at various times:
Lets start with Al Gore criticizing George Bush 41 for ignoring Iraqs ties to terrorism

Or how about this hit from 1998 Al Gore: No Doubt Saddams Weapons Are Grave Threat:

Hey even Nancy Pelosi claims Iraq had WMD and she seems pretty unequivocal

Here is a greatest hits of Democrats who in no certain terms absolutely claimed Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction. They made these claims on more than one occasion and with specificity. The quotes are from Madeline Albright, Bill Clinton, Howard Dean, Sandy Berger, Nancy Pelosi, Jay Rockefeller, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards:

Here is a 6 minute video of other Democrats on Iraqs WMD and how it would be irresponsible to leave Saddam unchecked;

So who is the liar? Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Madeline Albright, et al?
Surely they knew Saddam had WMD. Bill Clinton did after all launch missiles on Iraq in an attempt to destroy some of them.
