Look at the name calling. You did not even answer the question. Who said anything about support for the war? I was talking about Liberals and their attacks. They call Bush a liar. Doesn't that make Clinton a liar? Either they are both or neither. It has nothing to do with invading. What is your problem? You claim to be part of an educated elite. Bunch of self righteous, pompous fools. Learn to read so I won't have to keep supporting you.

Answer 1

Hey... I'm a drooling Liberal.. and I can still appreciate that old CNN article... good work for brining it out.

NOW... find the one about how the FIRST President Bush was UNDER IMPEACHMENT at the time he got the U.S. into the FIRST Desert Scam war.

Answer 2

Yes he did accuse Saddam of harboring WMD's, which he did have at that time therefore Clinton wasn't lying. The air strikes called in by Clinton were successful. When Bush took office there were no WMD's to destroy so he was lying, but it was a great scare tactic that he used very well. And don't give me the garbage that they hid them in Syria. With all the satellite and spying technology I think we would have seen them moving massive WMD's around. There, a liberal just answered your question. Now I will sit back and listen to you berate me because I did answer it. Just no pleasing you cons is there?

Answer 3

I am going to go with: Clinton was given the same "intelligence" Bush was given. But Clinton was aware that the process would "take time and effort," Time, meaning careful planning, and effort meaning with the support of the UN.

Bush didn't give his decion to invade Iraq much time (planning) or effort (UN Support) and therefore led the nation in to the disasterous situation it is in now. Bush also used the guise of the September 11th attacks to support the war in Iraq, but failed to go after the man/group who was responsible for the attacks. Al Quida and Bin Laden are still running free and now, billions of dollars and thousands of lives later, growing is strength and numbers.

It's not about the "threat" being real or not, it's about the handling of the situation. Bush did not handle the situation well. Plain and simple. He lacked dicipline, strategy and intelligence that would have been required to handle the situation properly without hurting the US as a whole in the process.

Answer 4

It's a question of actions. Clinton said he had WMDs and was willing to let the UN figure it out. Bush decided to destabilize the region by removing the only secular leader in the Middle East.

The decision to press on into Iraq and his responses post invasion have been the reason people are prone to call him a liar. He seems to be very fond of either not answering criticism or lying to minimize it.

Answer 5

Clinton made his claim in 1998. Bush made his claim in 2003, after Hans Blix and his team of inspectors found no evidence of WMD's. Only Bush is the liar because only Bush lied. That should be easy enough for even you to understand it.

Answer 6

First off, I find labeling people to be stupid.

People don't fit into labels. Quit calling people with label. It's rude, inflammatory and shows how ignorant you are.

And what's with everyone dropping the title of our presidents, past and current? Use the proper title!

If you want a true discourse by presenting an intelligent argument, you would phrase your question like this.

"I believe President Clinton accused Saddam Hussein of harboring weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Why is it that only President Bush's action is called into question?"

Try being nice in your questions and you may get better answers.

Answer 7

I would have skipped your question becuase I don't know the answer.
I don't blame Bush for anything. He is doing what he thinks is right for the country. I am not as well informed as he so I can't judge him or his actions.
However I feel that his opponents are just as well informed and probably have valid points on the matter as well.
I don't think anyone lied, maybe they just havn't found it yet, or maybe they were wrong, but I doubt they just made it up for an excuse to turn an innocent country into a war zone. This is a screwed up deal, but I don't think Bush is to blame for all of it.
Some people hold a grudge against Bush because they say he entered this war for revenge....something about his father...but in my opinion those people are just as bad for mudslinging against the elected leader of our nation.

Answer 8

Maybe Bush isn't the liar. Maybe Clintion should of took action on Iraq and any weapons instead getting some under his desk. I still don't trust Bush but I NEVER TRUSTED Clinton. He knew there was serious issues there but... did nothing. I'm going to do some research

Answer 9

Sadam Hussein destroyed his WMD which he had during the time of Clinton as was evidenced by the fact the UN were tasked with making sure he very promptly didn't have them. By the time of the invasion he didn't have them any more. What Bush was claiming was that he either hid or made more weapons since he was disarmed, and in reality he didn't and Bush lied to cover up the fact his war was about revenge and extending the american empire.

That's why. Please do try to keep up.

Answer 10

saddam tried to have president Clinton asasinated. that was the real reason for the bombings back in 98. i dont believe Clinton accused saddam of wmd only that he refused to let un inspecters in and the plot against Clinton was uncovered.
so put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Answer 11

If you knew the history of WMD programs in Iraq, then you would find this post as funny as I do. Here is a hint: the WMD program from the late 90s was dealt with and was NOT the WMD program Bush talked about as a reason to go to war.

As you can probably see from answers, most people (democrat and republican) don't really know what they are talking about when it comes to this issue.

Edit: Mordent nailed it.

Go learn about the history of WMDs. This article in no way makes both of them liars. Clinton told the truth, Bush lied. Email me if you feel like learning why.
