That "Bush = Hitler" shift was after we captured Sadam and it had become clear that the WMDs that we had been told were there never got found.
Never mind that the simple and unspoken reason that we knew the WMDs were there is because we had given that shit to Sadam back in the 80's to keep Soviet influence in Iran from spilling out over the whole Middle East.
Also, generally ignored/forgotten, is the fact that invading Iraq showed Quaddafi over in Libya that we weren't playing around. He very publically disavowed and demolished all three WMD programs (nuke, chem, and bio) in a giant bonfire pit.
Which is why Obama and Clinton felt no hesitation to do what they eventually did in Libya.
