Let me also point out that NO ONE within the administration said it would be a cakewalk. Perle and Adelman are not IN the administration.

More importantly, let us discuss that BILL CLINTON said this very thing, IN PRINT, in the London Times. Here is the article:

Trust Tony

Here is the operative paragraph:

In the face of the foot dragging, hawks in America have been pushing for an immediate attack on Iraq. Some of them want regime change for reasons other than disarmament, and, therefore, they have discredited the inspection process from the beginning; they did not want it to succeed. Because military action probably will require only a few days, they believe the world community will quickly unite on rebuilding Iraq as soon as Saddam is deposed.

He also said this in at least one speech. I want to make sure everyone knows that CLINTON raised expectations.

Well true .. but when has the NYT actually gotten their facts correct

I found yet another statement from clinton dated March 14 that says:

"The former president also said he believed Iraq's army would crumble within days in the event of a U.S. invasion, given the battering it took in the 1991 Gulf War."

Rush talking about clinton NOW, sowing the seeds of the a quick military action!

He quoted from a speech. Not sure if it's the speech I found referenced earlier today.
