And Iraq was in our national security interest, and that was shouted-down by the Left.
The IMMEDIATE concern was not there, it was long term. The interventions were needed, but Clinton hung the wrong reasons on it.
Iraq could have waited a while, too. But neither of them should have waited, because the longer the wait, the more difficult and costly the mission. Going in when we did was the right thing to do, in both cases, despite the politically motivated attacks on both actions from differing sides of the aisle.
