- Findings and declaration of policy
The Act found that Iraq had between 1980 and 1998
committed various and significant violations of International Law,
had failed to comply with the obligations to which it had agreed to following the Gulf War and
further had ignored Resolutions of the United Nations Security Council.
The Act declared that it was the Policy of the United States to support "regime change." The Act was passed 360-38 in the U.S. House of Representatives [2] and by unanimous consent in the Senate. [3] US President Bill Clinton signed the bill into law on October 31, 1998. The law''''s stated purpose was: "to establish a program to support a transition to democracy in Iraq." Specifically, Congress made findings of past Iraqi military actions in violation of International Law and that Iraq had denied entry of United Nations Special Commission on Iraq (UNSCOM) inspectors into its country to inspect for weapons of mass destruction. Congress found: "It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime."

Banana in your butt!!
And another reason that impeachment was tabled, is because if Bush was impeached and forced to resign in disgrace, then Cheney would have taken over.
It''s hard to believe, but our country would be in EVEN WORSE shape than it is now!!! - Reply to this comment
- One other good thing to remember as you consider this election year: Sandy Berger, in preparing to face the 9/11 Commission w/ President Clinton went into the National Archives, stole classified documents relevant to the investigation and destroyed them. Clinton chucked, %u201Cthat%u2019s Sandy%u201D and the press yawned. And Berger will have his security clearance back in time to be on Hillary%u2019s staff.
Oh and, don%u2019t be fooled by the press venting a little at the Clintons. They%u2019re still ignoring most of the muck, and following the guidance

What does this have to do with anything?
Why are you changing the subject to something completely unrelated? - Reply to this comment
- %u201CSaddam Hussein has spent the better part of this decade and much of his nation%u2019s wealth not on providing for the Iraqi people but on developing nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them%u2026.I know I speak for everyone in this chamber, Republicans and Democrats, when I say to Saddam Hussein, %u201CYou cannot defy the will of the world,%u201D and when I say to him, %u201CYou have used weapons of mass destruction before. We are determined to deny you the capacity to use them again.%u201D

- Yeah, but do you know why they started shooting at our plane? Because they knew an assassination coup on Clinton had been thwarted and he''''d be coming for them....
Posted by FromTexwLove at 12:42 PM : Oct 27, 2008

The threatened assassination was against BUSH''S FATHER - George H. W. Bush - NOT CLINTON!!

You are the ONLY person that says Clinton was going to war with Iraq.
And I do mean the ******** ONLY ******** person to make that claim.
Perhaps if you backed up your ccrap with EVIDENCE for the first time ever, you could possibly be believed. Instead all we get from you are guesses and speculation. - Reply to this comment
