You are taking facts out of context. 

G Bush Sr., was in Iraq under a UN mandate.... to liberate Kuwait.  Bush 
Sr. was correct then, to not remove Sadam, and extend the war beyond 
that which was established and authorized by the UN.  Personally, I wish 
he had done that, but it does not change the argument that President 
Bush Sr. did the right thing then.  It was not his charter, nor was 
America threatened by terrorism directly connected to Iraq.

12 years have passed, no I'm not blaming Clinton, but the UN failed to 
uphold the terms of the cease-fire, and allowed the problem of Sadam to 
manifest itself to what it was earier this year.  It is the fault of the 
UN for not being responsible to their duties and agreements.

Now this President Bush believes that the dynamics of terrorism as a 
direct threat against the US has changed, and does include Iraq as a key 
component.  I do not wish to get back into another hypothetical argument 
about what he knew, and if he lied, as none of anything I have ever 
heard in any of the mainstream media supports this.   I will have to 
trust that you have other insight that leads you to that conclusion 
(beyond simple anti-Bush bias).
