This is utter crap that was in the talking points of nearly the entire Republican caucus at the time. There was a short in the New Yorker (probably by Hertzberg) that explained how the US had internally stated its intention to bomb the next time Iraq balked at a weapons inspection. Guess what? The weapons inspectors were turned away and the US bombed. Instead of speculating about Clinton's cock, maybe you ought to ask yourself if the policy itself was justified (I myself have no idea).
