Bush was set on ousting Saddam in 2002
Ok! This is huge, how come the so-called Liberal media is not all over this?


-Snip from The state.com-

A highly classified British memo indicates that President Bush decided by summer 2002 to overthrow Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and was determined to ensure U.S. intelligence supported his policy.

2. That's what they want you to believe!
Clinton reinforced the sanctions, and bombed the labs that was suspected of creating WMD's. Never going to an all out war, which would cause thousands of senseless deaths. Saddam never posed any type of threat.
