And their views differ much from Clinton, Gore, the ILA, etc. etc. pushing for the liberation of Iraq and getting our troops out of Saudi how?

Richard Perle wasn't working for the Clinton administration -- if he had been, there is reason to be suspicious that the U.S. invasion of Iraq would have occurred in the mid-1990s. Perle was, however, one of the signatories of the infamous January 26, 1998 Project for a New American Century letter to Bill Clinton, calling for the U.S. to abandon its "containment" approach to Iraq and instead make the removal of Saddam Hussein a U.S. foreign policy objective.

And all the papers written on behalf of the Saudis, Kuwaitis, Kurds, even Iraqis to get rid of Saddam - should we attribute conspiracy to them?

Absolutely. The Kuwaitis in particular. The actions of the first Bush administration in orchestrating a propaganda campaign to generate public support for the war to "liberate Kuwait" was one of the most disgraceful episodes in recent U.S. history.

So you're saying the invasion wouldn't occur if Perle didn't exist?

Any way Clinton did try to create the environment to support an invasion. His initiative failed. And he didn't have the gumption of 9/11 to spice up the motivation to finish Gulf War I.

Still fighting the War of 1812, eh? How's the socialism up there? Think it's connected with Canada's lackluster economic performance? How strong would you be if you didn't get a free ride on the backs of the U.S. military, eh?
