How did you feel about saddam before bush was in office, when your liberal heros said the following?
"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998.
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998.
"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998.
"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998.
"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998.
"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999.

There was a French cartoon posted at TruthDig (I think) last week that summed up Saddam perfectly.
Bush is sitting in the oval office behind his desk and Secretrary Rice is standing on the other side. The President seems concerned about the Middle East and Iraq. He says, "It's time for us to call upon our only allies in the Middle East."
Secretary Rice responds, "Saddam Hussein?!"

You know, guys of your mindset never seem to discuss policy or the ramifications of said policy. All you do is blame a boogieman called "the liberals". As far as Iraq goes, the GOP has controlled all three branches of the Federal govt for the last several years. President Bush has gotten everything he wanted for it, yet here we are and the war rages on. Don't tell me the liberal media is distorting the success in Iraq---I've heard victory was imminent from you guys after Uday and Qusay got killed, each of several Operation YaddaYaddaYaddas, Saddam got captured, Fallujah got RECAPTURED, elections took place, the Al Mehdi army was disarmed, Zarqawi got killed, and Bush made a series of the same speech every six weeks or so. Nothing changes except the body count of Iraqi civilians, the number of American soldiers dead, the coalition countries who leave Iraq, and the cost that future generations of taxpayers will bear for this.
In response you drag out statements from almost a decade ago as if that justifies the relentless mishandling, corruption, ignorance, and all-around incompetence in the most bone-headed American military action since the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Well it doesn't.
And as a matter of fact, why aren't YOU over there fighting?

Yeah, we blew his factories the hell up back then. We weren't in the business of regime change when sane, intelligent people were in charge of the country.
Do you have anything from ths century?

Shhhh.
Now you've done it.
Truth and facts cause trauma to Liberals.
They can't stand either.
(It may cause them to whine and hate.)
