You're saying that CLINTON started the WHOLE policy of pre-emptive attack on another nation back in 1998.

I have stated that the Secretary of Defense...during a press briefing today...stated that "regime change" was adopted as official US policy in 1998 during President Clintons term in office.

Assume you are right..so Bush, who has been President for 3 years now, could have, at any time, simply have said "Hey democrats and others criticizing me, we're just enforcing the policy Clinton started!"

If the Secretary of Defense is correct...yes he could have.

In fact, he could have gotten incredible bi-partisan support in that famous State of the Union address last January by saying "We think the Clinton Administration had the right policy about regime change and we plan to enforce it!"

He had incredible bi-partisan support as the overwhelming majority of Congress voted to let the President use the military "as HE deems necessary". He still has majority bi-partisan support but as it is election year...in lesser numbers...and still has the support of the American people.

But he didn't did he? In fact, at NO TIME in Bush's presidency did he even HINT at this. It's only after he's been exposed by O'Neill that he and his cronies are doing the old "But he (clinton) did it too!" neener neener type of thing.

I am sorry he did not ask for your advice...well no I am not...as I would not ask for your advice either.
