Then you post the 1998 FEDERAL LIBERATION OF IRAQ ACT, which shows that the "previous (Clinton) administration" and Congress was addressing these issues.

Did you read what I posted? It was written and sponsored by A REPUBLICAN......and Clinton only signed it. It wasn't HIS idea, but now it's the law of the land.

You have been trying to insinuate that he accepted a Clinton policy, when he clearly accepted a CONGRESSIONAL policy.

Here is exactly what he said: (he never said ONE WORD about Clinton or inheriting anything):
And, no, the stated policy of my administration towards Saddam Hussein was very clear. LIKE THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION, we were for regime change.

I can't understand why you are nit-picking about the words "previous administration", (nor why I am anymore!)

The 1998 bill you mentioned wasn't very prominent in the public mind prior to the invasion of Iraq. Its mention at such a late date to the public is the source of much confusion.
