=============================

If you are having deja vu all over again, it is because that was a portion of a
speech given by President Clinton on December 19, 1998.

What I would like is for someone to explain why this action was fine for
Clinton but outrageous for President Bush, or is it that the Left is just a
bunch of partisan, self-serving hypocrites.

Hmmm, let me search my faulty recollection--was there a war against Iraq in
'98?  Hmmm... not so much.

We bombed Bagdad with 500 cruise missles-- call it what you will.

Did the Democrats get some sort of peaceful
worked out solution to the problem?

We bombed Bagdad with 500 cruise missles-- would you call that "peaceful"?

Was Bubba hell bent on going to war or
was there a legitimate process to find an alternate way of resolving the

You looking for Deja Vu?  Who started the last war against Iraq?  There's your
Deja vu.

If you are referring to the unprovoked Iraqi attack upon Kuwait, then I'd say
Iraq did.

Here's a question--Is Kuwait any better off today?

Rather than being occupied by Iraq???? Are you goofy?? Why don't you ask that
question to ANY Kuwaiti?

Who sold WoMD to the Iraqis and helped them develop their arsenal in the
first place?  There's your irony.

Umm, France?  Yeah, I'd say that's ironic.

Who's father says (paraphrased) "I hate Saddam.  I hate him.  I wish he
would cease to exist.  I really really hate him."

Mine?  My son's?

Hmmm...

So, well, whatever.

Whatever indeed.  You didn't answer my question.

JOHN
