The crux of the issue is whether or not Clinton was planning to take the SAME type of action against Iraq that Bush took.
From the current news story on CNN's website:
"Bush administration officials have noted that U.S. policy dating from the Clinton administration was to seek "regime change" in Iraq, although it focused on funding and training Iraqi opposition groups rather than using military force."
So there was no plan for pre-emptive strikes or direct military intervention by the United States under Clinton.

Well...different solutions come with different administrations...it has been that way since the first administration and will continue to be that way for future administrations. Apparently President Clinton had his strategy for the policy of "regime change" adopted during his term and apparently President Bush had a strategy for President Clinton's "policy of regime change"...and this is of course assuming...for the time being...that the Secretary of Defense is correct in the statement he made today.
