16. You mistakenly believe that Clinton didn't invade because he refused to...he wanted to but, couldn't

convince allies to go in with him AT THE TIME without harder evidence.

What Clinton did WISELY was not invade WITHOUT more allies agreeing to go in with him. So part of what you stated is true. Had 9-11 occurred in 1999, Clinton would have had many of the same allies Bush had and gone ahead as he and Blair were prepared to do.

You need to revisit the entire matter. It is also absurd to think that Blair was operating in a vacuum when it is well documented that he and Clinton consulted closely. I guess you never noticed that there wasn't one bit of daylight between Clintons and Lieberman throughout the entire Iraq invasion? In fact, HRC stayed sided with Bush and only stepped a bit away after Lieberman lost his primary in 2006, which was also right before she started her own Dem primary run.
