"Perhaps the progressive approach, no matter how intellectually dishonest, is ultimately politically prudent."(TA-NEHISI COATES)
This shit never stops. President Clinton referred to Saddam's WMD multiple times in his tenure, even to Saddam's nuclear capability, as early as 1998. He (President Clinton) ordered a peremptory bombing of Baghdad, killing a janitor, as a warning to Saddam., His wife voted for the war. The links provided above display President Clinton's opinion(s), one just less than seven months before the actual war began.
Help me out here. Because many people believed or claimed to believe Iraq had WMD, the Bush Administration couldn't've possibly used WMD as a pretext for war?
Once again sorry babe, I don't play coulda, woulda, shoulda. I am addressing fact(s), misrepresented by this article.
I don't know. Maybe you're right and it is all the Clinton's fault the Bush Administration used the threat of Iraqi WMDs to justify the war they wanted. You know, just like maybe it's the Clinton's fault the Bush Administration destroyed the world's economy. This some-other-guy-did-it defense works like a charm.
Not "blaming" darling, just illustrating the "fact" that Saddam and WMD, even nuclear was the intelligence of the time, just used President Clinton as proof. Your getting off track again, as your apt...........How about that "new world record"?......LOL
