There was no scare tactic. The previous administration had already identified the danger Saddam's Iraq posed and there are plenty of quotes from President Clinton regarding the threat. Further, the former Co-President, in her role as Senator Incitatus, supported going to war in Iraq. It was a good decision. I knew at the time it would be a long haul, and perhaps tougher than some of the optimistic projections. In reality, it has proven to be about as tough as I thought it would be, but I think it was the right decision and stand firm in supporting the mission to its logical end. Victory.
That's utterly non-responsive to what I was talking about, as you well know.

And the victory part is deluded.

He should have come clean with the American people that we were at war and what the danger was, instead of worrying about getting his weinie whistled while Gorelick erected her Anti-intelligence wall. Also, maybe when he had the chance to take bin Laden off of Sudan's hands he should have. And further, shooting cruise missiles into a camel's behind and/or a baby aspirin factory is meaningless fluff. If he wanted to be treated like a war time president, he should have acted like one, instead of acting like a porn star. And the perjury thing and presenting false affidavits to a federal judge were a little off too.
Completely non-responsive, but given the cards you were dealt that was well-played.
