Clinton's Iraq Policy
"The United States looks forward to a democratically supported regime that would permit us to enter into a dialogue leading to the reintegration of Iraq into normal international life."
That statement was made by President Clinton in 1998 as he signed the Iraq Liberation Act. This act placed the U.S. firmly in support of Iraqi resistance. 98 million dollars of support.
The Iraq Liberation Act was drafted by Randy Scheunemann, a man with ties to Lockheed Martin, who is currently a member of the Project for a New American Century.
The Senate passed the act unanimously. The House passed it 360-38.
Clinton was tactful enough to recognize the authority of the U.N., but he did not rule out the use of military force. Technically speaking, President Bush is enthusiastically carrying out the wishes of his direct predecessor, Bill Clinton.
There is, of course, much more to the story, but it is interesting how little things really change in American politics.
