…Clinton was president. Saddam was dictator.

Britain and America have pulled back from the brink of war with Iraq after an offer to let UN weapons inspectors back into the country.

American and British bombers were on their way to Baghdad when they were called off after Iraq’s letter was delivered to the United Nations Security Council on Saturday.

But US President Bill Clinton warned military strikes would take place if Iraqi President Saddam Hussein broke his word.

“Now Iraq must live up to its obligations,” Mr Clinton said.

Yep, Slick Willie said it. Over and over and over. He even threatened to put Iraq on double-secret probation.
