According to the Secretary of Defense the "regime change" regarding Iraq was adopted and became official US policy in 1998 by Bill Clinton's administration. I repeat...if the Secretary of Defense mis-spoke he will be called on it by the press and presumably President Clinton and/or others in his administration and/or by sitting members of Congress in that period of time. If it was in fact US policy when President Bush entered office he simply acted upon what was already US policy. In my opinion President Clinton should have acted upon the policy.
