What are you smoking? The weapons inspectors were in there the entire time. They had unfettered access to everything. They were surprising scientists and seizing their documents and roaming around Iraq at will. How can you justify saying "Saddam was not cooperating with weapons inspections."?

Unfettered? Suprising scientists? We were kicked out in 1998, how's that unfettered access? I can't find any documentation but from what i remember we were not allowed to interview nuclear scientists, unless approved and accompanied by armed guards. We had an inventory of what we found in the 7 or 8 years we were there, and Saddam's final report couldn't account for a significant percentage of it.
All of the people quoted above agreed with what Bush said in 2003. From 1998 NOTHING was done, except superficial support to opposition groups in Iraq. Bush single handedly got the weapons inspectors back in, with the UN and liberals kicking and screaming the entire time. If Gore had been in office, this would have never happened. Now you all agree this was necessary.
What am i smoking? Man, get off your high horse. Unfortunately I couldn't find the letter from congress to Clinton which describes why Iraq is a threat, and encourages military force (which was signed by some 10-20 democrats), but from this point untill Bush got in Saddadm had unfettered freedom to do whatever he wanted. These same people that signed this letter are now saying they were lied to by the "Bush Regime."
