They ID’d John Doe II right away and established a Saddam connection. Bill Clinton just did not have the stones to deal with it so he buried it and covered the evidence. George W. rather than try to resurrect an X File, apparently chose to just go after Saddam directly in retaliation.
Bush had his reasons...I just wish there had been some genuine WMD to silence the ‘rats (even though they also believed in them initially)
