Anyway: it's deja vut all over again.

You want to talk imminence? WMD? Democratic concern and conviction? Go back to the papers of 1998; it?s all there, right down to the terrorist links: Hezbollah, for example, swears it will strike Israel if the US attacks Iraq. (A poll of Palestinians showed that 94% supported Iraq, and 77% wanted Iraq to kill Jews if the US attacked Iraq.) Bob Dole was quoted as supporing the strikes but urging Clinton to seek Congressional Authorization. A story on Bush 41?s reaction said that the former president would completely support Clinton if he decided to attack, but noted that Bush 41 urged Clinton to get more international support - which was lacking at the time.

And again...

FLASHBACK: The day the vote was made to impeach President Clinton, Gore delivered a speech in front of a massed group of applauding Democrats at the White House, in which he said that Clinton "will be regarded in the history books as one of our greatest presidents". That was on December 19, 1998. Three days earlier, as CNN wrote, Clinton launched "new military strikes against Iraq"
