Why do you apparently believe our assessment of threats to the US did not change on 9/11?
As you say, Clinton signed a bill allowing a subsequent POTUS to act at his/her discretion.
Regardless of Clinton signing a bill, my point is Bush used that granted discretion poorly and in a manner that caused more harm than good to the US.

The topic is Iraq, the country Cheney told us time after time had NOTHING to do with the 9/11 attacks and Saddam who viewed AG as an enemy. I have yet to see anything justifying the full scale invasion/occupation of Iraq launched after 9/11.
I guess the words "expired or degraded weapons" don't mean much to you. This was already known and Rick Santorum tried to use it as a campaign play years ago. I'm sure they also had some ammonia and bleach hiding in their kitchens as well. That surely justified the invasion.
