Reply #82: You didn't support your statement about drumming up INVASION support [View All]

on college campuses, "disinfo" guy. That's a pretty big step.

It's a common Right Wing talking point, since the Iraq occupation has "gone sour", to try to minimize the impact of this upon the president (since this awful war is the one "accomplishment" clearly identified with this president) by saying, among other things, that "the policy of regime change in Iraq was initiated under Clinton/Gore".

You are no doubt trying to reinforce this type of talking point with your post above.

It is a laughable statement. If you examine it, it's designed to imply that if Gore had been elected, we would also have invaded Iraq under these kind of circumstances.

There's big difference between being against a government and even advocating that we want a different one, and rushing into an unprovoked war against them. Cuba is a prime example. We have been advocates of "regime change" in that country for generations now with multiple presidents in both parties. Only one initiated any kind of military action with respect to this, and that was indirect action through proxies (Bay of Pigs).
