#2 Regime change in Iraq had been official U.S. policy since 1998, under Bill Clinton; it's nothing new.

As far as I can tell there has not been any change in our policy toward Iraq since Clinton first articulated the necessity for getting rid of Saddam's regime, nor has the Bush administration made any claims to bolster the case for regime change- regarding WMD or anything else- that had not already been made before, including claims by those who now heap scathing criticism on Bush (and Blair).

The only thing Bush did on Iraq that Clinton did not, was translate policy into action.

Even if they were two guys in a broom closet they were still "ILLEGAL" programs. As far as Goerge Bush commiting the nation to war, just what did Bill Clinton do with cruise missile attacks into central Bahgdad. Besides doesn't ant body in this country remember the USS Stark
