The following link is to an article in Commentary Magazine that covers some recent history that has not been noticed, or should I say, connected properly and examined by the media to its rightful source. One example from the article is Clinton’s description of the future in 1998 of the “unholy axis” setting the stage for Bush’s decision in 2003 to confront the “Evil Axis”, from his speech in 2001 after the strike in NYC.
I think this is an important article, in that it clarifies the foreign policy progression that few of us have access to. It is also interesting that America’s foreign policy, if viewed from this perspective, is fairly consistent; which would imply, that regardless of what party occupies the White House there is little deviation in its intent. This though, is not to be confused with its execution.
The link is below, followed by the excerpt.

In a February 17, 1998 speech at the Pentagon, Clinton focused on what in his State of the Union address a few weeks earlier he had called an “unholy axis” of rogue states and predatory powers threatening the world’s security. “There is no more clear example of this threat,” he asserted, “than Saddam Hussein’s Iraq,” and he added that the danger would grow many times worse if Saddam were able to realize his thoroughly documented ambition, going back decades and at one point close to accomplishment, of acquiring an arsenal of nuclear as well as chemical and biological weapons. The United States, Clinton said, “simply cannot allow this to happen.”
