President Clinton orders attack on Iraq - YouTube
You continue to refuse to answer the question of why you apparently believe our assessment of threats to the US should not have changed after 9/11 and are apparently obsessed with Clinton instead.

WHY do you believe the level of threat to the US from various entities didn't change on 9/11 and remained the same as it was during Clinton's presidency?

WHY?

so ok, bush made mistakes....will you also admit that the NEXT potus (Obama) has made plenty of mistakes too???
I've never said otherwise but in case you've missed it there are many, many threads in this forum about that very issue, this isn't one of them, eh?

Obsessed with Clinton much?

HINT: He DID NOT order the full scale invasion/occupation of Iraq and the reasons given for it in question here.

Not at all. Everyone knew Iraq had WMDs. Clinton signed into law the Iraq Liberation Act. Any subsequent decisions were based on liberating Iraq, period.

And just WHY was this alleged liberation of Iraq more important to the US than finding/eliminating those who attacked us? THAT is the question, WHY?

Just WHERE does the Constitution make liberating other people a higher priority than protecting Americans?

BTW, there really isn't any clear answer as to why we invaded Iraq.

It's a matter of U.S. Law. Ask Clinton.

Yes. The Yellowcake incident. A BIG topic pre-Iraq invasion.

From wikipedia (Niger uranium forgeries):

" The Niger uranium forgeries are forged documents initially revealed by SISMI (Italian military intelligence). These documents seem to depict an attempt made by Saddam Hussein in Iraq to purchase yellowcake uranium powder from Niger during the Iraq disarmament crisis.

On the basis of these documents and other indicators, the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom asserted that Iraq violated United Nations Iraq sanctions by attempting to procure nuclear material for the purpose of creating weapons of mass destruction. "
