Reply #13: Clinton was temporarily sucked in by the neocons

[creeksneakers2]

The neocons approached Bill Clinton for help. The Iraqi Liberation Act was sold to Clinton as an internal coup that would remove Saddam.

Clinton was smarter that Bush. Clinton actually put people on the ground to find out what the real situation was. They told Clinton a coup plot would fail. So the plan was called off.

Clinton also listened to his advisors who told him that Chalabi was a con man. Out of the millions appropriated for the Iraqi National Congress, Clinton only disbursed about $300,000 before cutting off aid entirely. We have since learned what Clinton knew then - Chalabi was a con man.

The whole plan was in ashes. The Bush cabal started anew as soon as they took office and restored the money and more to the crook Chalabi.

Don't blame Clinton. Blame the neocons and their White House enabler.
