Every statement SH quoted was made within the context of a larger policy statement of some sort. Any one of them may have been made as an argument for more U.N. inspections, more funding for flyovers in what was called the "no-fly zone", or more iraq-specific intelligence funding, just to name a few. None of them were made with the aim of justifying launching an invasion of another country without the backing of the larger world community. Period.

Anyone can pull statements out of context and make it appear that two speakers with opposing viewpoints were in full agreement on any issue. It's a cheap trick. If I felt the inclination, I could go through George W. Bush's public statements and pull out enough instances where he's expressed regrets about the casualties of the war he started to make him sound like a total pacifist. I repeat, it's a cheap trick.
