Not Buying It

Thus spake Clinton:

"I have repeatedly defended President Bush against the left on Iraq, even though I think he should have waited until the U.N. inspections were over," the former president said.

"I would not have done it until after (former U.N. chief weapons inspector) Hans Blix finished his job."

Two things here: Blix, France, Germany, and Russia were in the process of extending the inspections for, what was it- 6 months, if I recall correctly. This was clearly a move to convert the US, UK push to topple Saddam into UN-style perpetual stalemate and endless talk. During this same time the sanctions would continue to crumble.

The other factor is that there were over 100,000 troops hanging out in the desert. These same troops were the only reason that the inspections started up again in the first place. They weren't going to wait out there until France decided it was ok to invade. France was never going to give the ok, which they have stated.

So, I'm not buying that argument at all.
