Why authorize the use of the US military to liberate Iraq in the first place? That's on Clinton.

So you're saying that he shouldn't have?

Yes. Clinton should have vetoed the 1998 Iraq Liberation Act that authorized the use of the US military to liberate Iraq. But he didn't.

Just.............................

I suppose you'd blame the Second Amendment for a serial killer's actions because it authorized him to have a gun.

I don't see where the Second Amendment authorizes serial killings by anyone.

The Iraq Liberation Act Clinton signed into law in 1998, though, does actually authorize the use of the US military to liberate Iraq.

Well, being you refuse to acknowledge the FACT that it WAS NOT Clinton who ORDERED the action Clinton (AND the Republican Congress) merely AUTHORIZED to take place, I'm not surprised that you're not sure.


And don't really give a rat's patootie either.

Yeah, well, when you can prove Clinton ORDERED the start of a full scale bloody, wasteful, completely unnecessary war of choice that has cost far too much American blood and a number of $$$ we'll probably NEVER hear an honest accounting of, has been of NO benefit to the US and has further destabilized the ME for decades, let me know. Until then enjoy your revisionist history all you like, it ain't what's gonna be in the real, factual history books.

To paraphrase Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan: You're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.

What do you think signing the Iraq Liberation Act in 1998 and authorizing military action against Iraq was? Wiffle ball?

Clinton's the perpetrator. Bush finished the job.

And God didn't make little green apples

And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime

By your logic the Second Amendment is the cause of any death from gunfire in the US because it authorizes people having those guns, eh?
