What's changed? Wouldn't it stand to reason that absolutely nothing has changed, except that the situation has gotten progressively worse over the last 4 years?

Which is why I posted this. If Clinton was in office and proposing we go after Saddam after a 9/11 attack on the country the dems would be shouting 'we would be stupid not to stop this evil before it strikes again' - They don't want to make Bush look good, to hell with the people and their safety.
