LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Former President Bill Clinton is questioning his successor's choices about the war in Iraq.In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Clinton called President Bush's doctrine of pre-emption "a very tricky, slippery slope" that was "never realistic because we are not going to go to war with Iran or North Korea."
Clinton, set to speak at the Democratic Convention in Boston on Monday, has been careful not to speak too harshly about Bush.
"I have tried to talk about this president and his administration in a respectful tone," he said.
But he took jabs at the current administration in an interview posted Sunday on the newspaper's Web site.
"The American people can decide who they think is right and wrong, but the Bush administration believed Iraq was far and away the biggest security problem of the country, despite the fact that there was more support for al-Qaida within Pakistan and now we know more contacts with Iran," he said. "There were other responsible people who had different views."
Clinton, who called Osama bin Laden "the biggest threat to the country," declined to say whether he would have invaded Iraq. He said he would have let United Nations weapons inspectors finish their work before deciding.
"But the factors in my thinking would have been how well we were doing in Afghanistan, stabilizing the entire country, and what our reasonable prospects of getting bin Laden were."
"I don't have any problem with getting rid of Saddam Hussein," Clinton said, "but we have over 900 American dead now and we are still dealing with this, and we are not dealing with other things with the same gusto."
While calling Bush "a great politician," Clinton said his response to the Sept. 11 terror attacks was misguided and may cost him the November election.
"After 9/11, we all wanted to follow the leader and be united as a country. The Republican right which dominates the policy of this White House, took our patriotism to be weakness and tried to push the country to the right and push the world around, and there was a predictable reaction."
Keep pushin GWB. No one tells us what to do.
Perhaps Clinton can justify preemption in relation to Kosovo. What a MF AH.
I question who's side is Clinton on???
Yeah, it's good to get advice from someone who did absolutely nothing for 8 years. Perhaps if enough pressure had been put on Saddam during the 90's Bush would not have had to invade.
WTF??? You miserable little creep. Can't you ever stop giving aid and comfort to the enemy?
Somebody throw this guy an intern.
Bill Clinton spent 8 years kicking the can down the road and the 9/11 report details it. Many times he had the chance to act and he chose not to. Clinton will go down in history as the President who spent more time with an Intern than he did his CIA Director
That's akin to stating that we shouldn't punish the regular rapist for his crime because we won't punish or even question a president, even when he's accused by the victim of the same crime.
Sure Bill, whatever you say. You typically make more sense than this Bill. What caused you to slip into incoherence? And just what evil right wing stuff do you think Bush is foisting on this nation? Aren't you enjoying you tax cut?
William Clinton's Traveling Road Show. Master of Illusions and Sleight of Hand. Snake Oil, 5 cents.
It WOULD be a good policy to attack Iraq and Afghanistan and thereby increase the threat against Iran, even if we don't want to invade Iran. That is, unless you have fools like Clinton saying: Don't worry Iran, we will never attack you.
If you think back, the dems tried to prevent the Iraq invasion. They are now trying to protect Iran and North Korea.
Well, then riddle me this you fat, pink, slippery POS. What was never realistic? The tricky, slippery slope? The doctrine of pre-emption? What?
I don't. That bottom feeder and his harpy wife are on their own side.
"Hey baby, how about going up to my hotel room and share a cigar?"
He never dealt with anything relating to terrorism with any "gusto." What single thing did he ever do to combat terrorism? Oh wait, he burnt down a building full of women and children in Waco, that's right, excuse me.
...but the Bush administration believed Iraq was far and away the biggest security problem of the country
And maybe Iraq was the easiest of the three to pick off. So now its one down and two to go? (Afganistan was a no-brainer.)
The Democrats start from the assumption that Bush is not very intelligent. But what if you assume the opposite? Do some of the pieces begin to fall into place?
If the little turd went after muslim nut jobs with the same force things might a little different.
At the same time - his Burglar National Security Advisor is stealling every bit of documentation in order to cover up their disasterous handling of our nation's security.
This is Clinton's Idea of We got him

The Clintons are a national disgrace. I just wish they would shut the hell up.
