You are right, and for 2 reasons-- inspectors can be so easily thwarted, and
the man is (was?) a liar! Scuds are flying everywhere-- where the hell did
they come from? It's all been a big lie. The fact is that Bush was right.

That's a laugh. KJ was arming even as they were signing disarmament agreements
with Clinton. Joke, Joke, Joke.

That we have to solicit the support of dictators who hate freedom in order to
act, they we have been reduced to moral equivalency with such ilk.

When will you Lefties learn-- the US is *not* Europe. God forbid. It is still
offensive in this country when a person cheats on their spouse-- not a sign of
status as in some European countries. Clinton realized this, and so was too
cowardly to simply admit his adultery-- instead he chose to lie to a grand
jury. Further, adultery is still grounds for divorce in this country. Hillary
was so power-hungry that she didn't even have the dignity to divorce him--
their "marriage" is a joke. What a disfunctional mess.

I think your comparison suffers due to our historical circumstances (if I
understand your grievance to be the curtailing of civil liberties)
BTW, what does it matter that Bush was appointed? I thought you said you were
over that.
