Maybe you should. They were not in compliance, nor had regime change occurred, which Clinton wanted, after operation desert fox. 1999 resolution after desert fox-

PRESIDENT CLINTON: And, you know, remember, this is the only guy, the only world leader today who has used chemical weapons on his own citizens. And the American people in my judgement should give him all the money he needs to take care of his kids. But should do everything we can, and even if we are alone, to try to stop him from being in a position of murdering his kids again, and murdering other children in the Middle East. That's what I believe.

Seriously?? Seriously?? Her husband had just been in office, knew people, and her hubby had signed into legislation that Saddam needed to be dealt with and removed.
Are you naive or trying to fool the masses that don't know better?George W. Bush didn t just lie about the Iraq War. What he did was much worse.
Hillary did as well. She made the case to go to war and then voted to give Bush the authorization to do so; yet liberals can't find it within themselves to blame anyone else but Bush.
Hillary got Americans killed by HER OWN incompetence then lied...then called the grieving family members 'liars'...and Liberals defend her. The hypocritical rabid partisanship demonstrated constantly by Liberals is truly amazing.
Hillary supported the war based on the info Congress was getting from the lying scumbags, Bush/Cheney....you can't blame her, but alas, that's what conservatives do, they twist everything to make themselves not look like the hawks and obstructionists they are.
Apparently you are another of many ignorant and uninformed Johnny come lately.....of course Clinton signed legislation that Saddam needed to be dealt with....back in the 90's....but apparently you don't know the rest of the story. By the time Bush got elected, Saddam had been dealt with....that is the reason for Operation Desert Fox.
In response to Saddam Hussein's continued refusal to cooperate with U.N. weapons inspectors, the United States Government planned Operation DESERT FOX in the fall of 1998. The primary mission of DESERT FOX was to strike military targets in Iraq that contributed to its ability to produce, store, maintain, and deliver weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The U.S. government expected to achieve several goals with the operation. First, it would degrade Iraq's ability to create and employ WMD. Second, the attacks would diminish Iraq's capability to wage war against its neighbors. Third, the operation would impress upon Saddam Hussein the consequences of violating international agreements, including allowing United Nations inspectors unfettered access to Iraqi sites. The United States and Great Britain launched Operation DESERT FOX on December 16, 1998, after U.N. Chief Inspector Richard Butler notified the U.N. that Iraq had failed to provide full cooperation during inspections.
Factsheets : Operation Desert Fox
Perhaps that is why you conservatives continue to defend Bush.....you all are so ignorant, don't know history and just blabber nonsense.
Now go do some research you don't continue to appear so stupid as the rest of the ignoramuses who keep claiming that Bill Clinton wanted to invade Iraq when George W. Bush was president, because at that time, Bill Clinton was no longer privy to Intelligence information on Iraq.
