Why do Democrats get blamed for being "easy" on Saddam?

Question

Democrats didn't sell him weapons of Mass desrtuction, like Donald Rumsfeld and George Bush Sr.

Answer 1

Thank you a voice of reason. Why is this war blamed on Democrats? They didn't go into Iraq, they didn't train Iraq soldiers, they didn't give them all the weapons they wanted.
When they get all they can they will turn it on the USA. They are just buying out their time. Because the Republicans have armed them heavily.

Answer 2

Because they are!!!!

Clinton made speechs about the Saddam threat but Billy hid behind his desk!!!!

In the next century, the community of nations may see more and more the very kind of threat Iraq poses now -- a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction ready to use them or provide them to terrorists, drug traffickers or organized criminals who travel the world among us unnoticed.

If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow by the knowledge that they can act with impunity, even in the face of a clear message from the United Nations Security Council and clear evidence of a weapons of mass destruction program."
