	Iraq Liberation Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-338) [1] (codified in a note to 22 USCS § 2151) is an United States Congressional statement of policy calling for regime change in Iraq.
		The Act declared that it was the Policy of the United States to support "regime change." The Act was passed in the House [2] and Senate [3] and signed into law by the US President Bill Clinton on October 31, 1998.
		This view is supported by the fact that the Act was cited as a basis of support in the Congressional Authorization for use of Military Force Against Iraq in October of 2002 (PUBLIC LAW 107–243—OCT. 16, 2002) [4].

		On both occasions, Clinton spoke of the Iraq Liberation Act as but one in a series of steps the administration is pursuing to support political opposition to Saddam Hussein's regime over the long term.
		The other initiatives include Radio Free Iraq broadcasts into the country, a recent $8 million appropriation supporting development of opposition groups, and a political truce brokered in September by Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright between the two largest Kurdish opposition groups in northern Iraq.
		Part of what makes Clinton's vow to "implement" the Iraq Liberation Act so ambiguous is the act itself, which authorizes the president to provide $97 million in training, weapons, supplies and other materiel to Iraqi opposition groups -- but does not require him to do so.

		It was the first time in U.S. history that it became the official foreign policy of the U.S. to overthrow a country that had not attacked the U.S. This Act meant to reward those opposed to Saddam's Iraq, and punish his allies.
		What is significant about this Act, is that it was the first step in legitimizing the removal of Saddam.
		Three years later, in the resolution authorizing George W. Bush to use military force against Saddam, almost half of the wording from the Iraq Liberation Act was included in the use of force legislation.

	From evasion to invasion. By Christopher Hitchens
		Of all the terms in the contemporary argument about war with Saddam Hussein, perhaps the most protean and slippery is "regime change." This is not all that surprising when you reflect that it had its origins in those heavily parsed years that we can never quite bring ourselves to call the Clinton era.
		The words became current during the debate over the passage of the Iraq Liberation Act, which was sponsored by Sens.
		The Iraq Liberation Act did not involve paying Frank Luntz or Dick Morris to see what the "numbers" would be for the new third party Shiite Centrist Coalition, as it attempted to bridge the gender gap in the swing-state Basra region.

		In 1998 the US Congress passed the ILA, whose operative part (Section 3) reads: "It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq, and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime."
		To that end the ILA provided US$97 million worth of assistance, including money for radio and television broadcasting to Iraq by opposition groups to military education and training.
		Since the ILA became law, only about $5 million of the $97 million in "drawdown" authority to the Pentagon has been authorized, and only a fraction of the authorized amount has actually been spent.
