Ron Paul on Iraq War
Note: When Ron Paul referred to this policy being established in 1998, he was referring to the Clinton-Gore administrations statements that Saddam will be removed "by any means necessary" just before December 1998's bombing of downtown Baghdad.
Shock and Awe Version 1.0, the Clinton-Gore bombing Baghdad in 1998 for regime change. By this time, over 1, 200, 000 Iraqi civilians had died under eight years of the Clinton-Gore Iraq policy. Of this holocaust, Clintons Secretary of State said "We think the price is worth it."
It's also interesting to me that through the wonders of propaganda, one would have a very difficult time convincing many Democrat voters who just blame Bush for everything, that the above reality ever actually occurred. As of this writing, Bush is just now passing a million Iraqi citizens killed, just a little less than 1.2 million killed by Clinton-Gore.
