We were still bombing Iraq under Clinton not to mention the war Clinton started to change attention from the lewinski investigation remember it's the one where they struck the Chinese building by accident killed several . And if the war was illegal why did the Congress vote to fund it ?

I want Bush and Cheney back .

Because Bush and his assistants lied to everyone, including the Congress that is why the war was initially funded.
As for the subsequent funding, it's the right thing to do to fund the soldiers on the ground that were sent there by the commander in chief.

Want a good use of your troops, put them along the border.
