Read a little. Go see what Richard Clarke had to say about the
intelligence at
that time. The bushies hand picked intelligence, or manufactured it
to meet their desires. Read about the downing street memos. Saddam
was contained - he was no danger to us. He had no WMDs. There was
plenty of intelligence that said
not to invade. But that wasn't what bushie and cheney wanted.

Saddam was still shooting at our planes. He was violating the
ceasefire and UN agreements.
Just let him fester is your answer. Worthless. That's what Clinton
did. There is no answer you'll accept except Bush ****ed up.
Bush made a Command decision. Something Clinton never did. Clinton
didn't do jack ****.

Clinton didn't get us into Iraq. You idiots want to blame everything
on clinton.
HE was 4x the quality of president that bushie is. Bushie and
bushies crew ignored all the warnings from Clinton about Al Queda
and all the other warnings
he had before 9/11. He did NOTHING.

And Clinton did what about it on his watch?
He had the police investigate. How many terrorist attacks
occurred on Clintons watch and what did he do?

Even slick would have done something post 9/11.

Guess what Bush did and is still doing? :-)

****ing an immense amount of money against the wall in Iraq to no useful purpose.

And an unacceptable number of US lives too.

His dad had much more of a clue about what made sense with Iraq.

Let's see. 50% of the foreign fighters captured in Iraq are Saudies.
Most of the
9/11 attackers were Saudies. Most of the Financing of Al Queda comes
from Saudies. Good idea - lets attack Iran.

The Saudi's have no nuke program. I see now. You're a "containment"
guy. That means you're willing to wait until a US city is vaporized
to maybe, maybe do something.
Preventing that is what sane people do. Iran's president has stated
exactly what they want to do. As have the terrorists.
You can ignore it. I find loonies typically do.

What Bush did was smart. History will bear it out.

Nope, not with Iraq.

Clinton will go down with Carter as another inept Democrat.

Probably.

You can cherry pick whatever and hindsight all you want.

It wasnt hindsight that saw W's dad avoid invading Iraq.

Fortunately people like you aren't in charge

You too.

or we'd have had other 9/11s by now.

Nope. It was never going to be repeatable once it became
obvious what could be done with hijacked aircraft. No one
will ever let their plane get hijacked again.

Its moved on to much harder stuff to prevent like the london and madrid bombings now.
