Get educated on WMDs, Clinton

That Americans continue to this day to say that President Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq is twisted logic. Saddam Hussein lied about having WMDs in Iraq; if he didn't have them, he should have complied with the U.N. peace terms and fully opened his country to the inspectors, without limitations. The world knows he employed chemical warfare against Iran during the 1980s; that he gassed thousands of his own citizens; that he was pursuing biological and nuclear materials; that he did attack and invade Kuwait; that he failed to comply with the U.N. peace terms of his surrender; that he provided state-sponsored support to Abu Nidal, and gave financial support to other international terrorist organizations.

Do these short-attention-span Americans not remember Leon Klinghoffer? Or the attacks on the World Trade Center in 1993? These occurred on President Clinton's watch, not President Bush's. Clinton's image continues to be made over; now he's the media's darling.

Clinton's impeachment was never about sex. Clinton just can't tell the truth: He lied to Congress under oath, and he lied to the American people ("I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky"). Here was a president that inherited the strongest, best-equipped military since President Carter's disastrous era, and he squandered it on his "peace initiative."

There is no such thing as a peace initiative. History has proved that peace is best kept by a strong military. We are paying for Clinton's gutting of the armed services so he could have his social programs. It's no secret that Clinton detested the military establishment. Many military people think Clinton enjoyed throwing the army into winless, meat-grinding conflicts just to punish the military he despised.

By the way, why is no one screaming about Kosovo? It's Clinton's undeclared war, and yes, we still have U.S. forces there. Let's bring those forces home!
