“I don’t think, if I had been president — on the basis of the facts as I saw them publicly — I don’t think I would have ordered the Iraqi war.
“I would have maximized our efforts through sanctions, through restrictions, whatever, to find another answer. |

“Rumsfeld and Cheney and the president made a big mistake in justifying going into the war in Iraq.
“They put the emphasis on weapons of mass destruction. And now, I’ve never publicly said I thought they made a mistake, but I felt very strongly it was an error in how they should justify what they were going to do.
“I just don’t think we should go hellfire damnation around the globe freeing people, unless it is directly related to our own national security.”
