Ever heard the phrase "Its not what you say, its how you say it"?
Nowhere is that more true than in international diplomacy. Being a cowboy from Texas might win you a few votes in the southern states, but its detrimental to our international interests.
Bush says, and I'm paraphrasing "we want to attack Iraq, I know he's hiding weapons of mass destruction, maybe I'll show you evidence and maybe I won't, but we're going in whether you like it or not"
I think Clinton would have used mass inspections to prove to the world that he's hiding weapons FIRST, and THEN gone to the UN and demanded action. In which case we would have a much broader base of international support.

Why didn't he do it then.
I know, he only had eight years.
