Before Clinton, there was another President named Bush. Actually -- small world -- he was W.'s father. Look into it. It's one of those little things that makes studying history fun!

I haven't read Blix's book, so I will have to take your word for it that they were not allowed to conduct protological exams of SH and OBL.

As for the soldiers on the border, golly gee, once you got the troops that far, I guess you really had no choice but to invade, huh? That was thinking that got World War I kicked off. Note to non-historians: That one is widely seen as bad news now.
