[history]
Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.

Great catch!
To: Gillmeister
I like the reference to "last chance". It certainly puts the Dems in their place doesn't it! LOL, their own guy said it was Hussein's last chance over four years ago.
As for the rest...
Hisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. What an empty suit.

In short, the inspectors are saying that even if they could stay in Iraq, their work would be a sham.
...
So Iraq has abused its final chance... The current inspectors are in effect saying, "Even though our efforts are a sham, we'd like to continue this sham for many more months." And WRT Saddams' "final chance" - I think we know that coming from Clinton's mouth, it all depends how you define "final"...
To: Gillmeister
Well I'll be gol-darned. There isn't a single reference to that woman, not one time, not never in that speech. Lucky for ol' Billy that Saddam just decided to become a danger right then--and just before Ramadan, too.

Clinton's bombing of Iraq was the day of the impeachment vote -- deliberately timed to delay the proceedings.
Does anyoneone know where I can find an article in which the Dems express their outrage that the impeachment vote was going on while our troops were going into harm's way?
I remember quite a lot of Dem squealing about that.

I'm so grateful that it has been so long since I've had to listen to a Clinton speech, however upon reading it there is a striking contrast between a Bush speech and this one. Clinton is obsessed with the word "I" whereas Bush tends to use the royal "we"s and "our"s. The significance could be argued several ways, I guess, but it struck me nonetheless.
