2 observations. 1st, Clinton policy on iraq: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_ClintonTwo notable military events occurred during Clinton's second term. The first was Operation Desert Fox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Desert_Fox), a bombing campaign designed to weaken Saddam Hussein's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddam_Hussein) grip on power over Iraq (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq). The four-day campaign lasted from December 16 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_16) to December 19 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_19), 1998 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998). It began after Clinton signed H.R. 4655 into law on October 31 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_31), 1998 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998), which instituted a policy of "regime change" against Iraq, though it explicitly stated that it did not speak to the use of American military forces.<sup id="_ref-29" class="reference">[38] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton#_note-29)</sup><sup id="_ref-30" class="reference">[39] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton#_note-30)</sup> The law was signed months after his State of the Union Address (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_the_Union_Address) to Congress where Clinton warned Congress of Saddam Hussein's pursuit of nuclear weapons.

Sure, they were both hawkish on Saddam. The difference is, Clinton didn't distort and fabricate intelligence. The evidence as it existed wasn't enough to convince Congress and the American people to go along with a full-scale invasion.

That said, we will never know what Clinton/Gore might have done with post-9/11 fear and momentum on their side. Perhaps they would have followed W's path, perhaps not. All we can know is what has happened. Clinton lied about a BJ, Bush lied us into war.
