War? Troops sent in to fight? Was Clinton building up the forces, daring
Saddam to 'slip up even just a little bit'?

I would if I could, but there's a tinpot dictator in charge of that country
that, so the rumours go, is more of a 'dick'tator than Saddam is. Just
because this new leader 'gets along' with US (or just 'Big Oil') does not
negate his own atrocities.
And I like being goofy :)

Well, no, not really--
"We've always known that he's had weapons of mass destruction. The reason we
know that is that the United States encouraged him to begin that nuclear
weapons program, as I disclose in my new book. We gave Hussein a wink and a
nod to manufacture a nuke because we believe that he was going to vaporize
the Iranians in the 1980's during their war. That's how we know he has a
program -- because we built it for him. And no one wants to talk about that,
especially Mr. Bush since his daddy was the architect of the Iraqi program
-- using the Saudi Arabians as the "cut-out."
