You DO know that the evidence came from the Clinton Admin and UNSCOM, right?

Additional info today's dem want to make believe it didn't happen.

"The bill was sponsored by Representative Benjamin A. Gilman (Republican, NY-20) and co-sponsored by Representative Christopher Cox (Republican, CA-47). The bill was introduced as H.R. 4655 on September 29, 1998. The House of Representatives passed the bill 360 - 38 on October 5, and the Senate passed it with unanimous consent two days later. President Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act into law on October 31, 1998.[3


Iraq Liberation Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Looks like a lot of dems were on board.

This president was the most fallacious decision maker in American history and I think this leadership is responsible for both 9/11, the War in Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Yet knowing human bias, I do not believe the term "knowingly" applies. I just think he was a horrible missguided dullard of an administration.

Using the word Knowingly and Bush in the same sentence is a foolish thing to do.

Bush also kept on Clinton's CIA director, George Tenet. It's not as if Tenet and all those leading democrats suddenly began singing another tune when Bush was elected. Tenet was possibly the key to at least some of the misinformation about Iraq.

"And every one of them used the evidence that was handed to them by the Bush"

B.S. They used the info they got DURING the Clinton ADMIN. It has been posted over and over. You can deny it but, it doesn't change the facts.

Yadda, yadda, yadda, and even thought Bill Clinton and the democrats spent eight years saying the exact same thing as Bush, they are given a pass by people like you. Misguided dullards describes most of the libs in this thread.
