Comments: Expand Shrink Hide (Always) | Indented Flat (Always)
were
comments from pre- 9-11 and pre- bush?
that would be a dream come true!
but small technicalities aside, comments in that video include sound bites of senators speaking about the dangers of allowing Saddam to re-arm following his disarming by the UN. They're regarding the secrecy associated with not knowing what was going on in Iraq after he ejected the weapons inspectors.
One or two (Rockefeller I believe) mentioned 'evidence' of 'nuclear weapons' which is total bullshit. I wonder if he was speaking about that memo which the Bush administration was pushing as their hard evidence... If so, it would be understandable to have concern. The issue wasn't whether the Dems were concerned about Saddam or duped by faulty intelligence.
The issue was 1)the evidence was cherry-picked and falsified to promote a call to war, and 2) the only option Bush allowed for was war.
That propaganda video is attempting to equate 'concern by dems over Saddam' to evidence that 'dems felt war was a good idea'. That's a common tactic of the right wing who failed logic 101.

Yeah, look at the dearth of actual comments before 2000... if I recall correctly, we conducted air strikes in Iraq in '98...
ah well, if you can't beat 'em, change the game and hope no one notices.
