Here it is! It's a Clinton quote from his first "debate" with Dole on 60 minutes:
"By the time I left office, tough sanctions, inspections and air strikes had left him far weaker than he was in the Gulf War, as I think we'll see if there's military action."

Good find, Timeout. From your link, and the week before is the Clinton quote I referenced earlier:
Senator Dole, if there is military action in Iraq, victory will probably come quickly, because were stronger and Iraq is weaker than in the 1991 Gulf War

You folks are awesome! Great work researching and in getting the word to the reliable media so that the truth can come out about this cakewalk business.

That's the quote. And it is from a different venue than the source I found. And I see now the NPR interview which is even earlier and very explicit.
This is more than an ordinary pundit tossing off opinions and is causing real harm, IMO. Meant to undermine confidence in the administration, and it could possibly undermine the mission our military is undertaking.
And notice he's kept his big yap shut and not stepped forward now to support the administration or troops. Not that I want him to, necessarily, just pointing out he talks enough when he wants to.
