7. Clinton make point it was an accounting problem - not a fear of WMD case
I saw the call-in and my take away was not that he was giving cover to Bush but that he was explaining why - knowing of the accounting problem - he did not invade Iraq.
Indeed folks forget the intrusive inspection approach Clinton wanted - we all wanted - in lieu of war - was expected to destroy Saddam - as accepting it would show him to be "weak" - and that Bush stepped all over those talks and said he was going without any allies by March 19. - so the next 3 weeks went nowhere as far as intrusive inspections being approved by the UN.
