"What is at stake is how to answer the potential threat Iraq represents with the risk of proliferation of WMD. Baghdad's regime did use such weapons in the past. Today, a number of evidences may lead to think that, over the past four years, in the absence of international inspectors, this country has continued armament programs." -- Jacques Chirac, October 16, 2002

By Clarence Page, Chicago TribuneHistory repeats itself, someone once said, because people don't hear it right the first time. The problem with Sen. Hillary Clinton's gaffe about Robert F. Kennedy is her failure to recall correctly the history she has helped make.She was wrong on the facts, wrong in her argument and wrong in her recollection of the gut-wrenching fear and loathing that the second assassination of a Kennedy inflicted on Americans—across party lines.Grasping at historical straws to explain why she is still campaigning instead of putting her campaign on hold, at least, the New York senator unleashed an argument that not only sounded breathtakingly tacky but also happened to be wrong on its facts."You know, my husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right?" she said to the editorial board of South Dakota's Argus Leader.

But her argument falls apart in light of how her husband, Bill Clinton, already had won more delegates than his nearest opponent, former California Gov. Jerry Brown, by the middle of April in 1992. There were not enough delegates left in the remaining primaries for Brown to catch up, even if he won all the remaining primaries.
