God says that Clinton's conception was a mistake !! The devil made them do it !
He doesn't realize it, but Bill just lost any hopes for Hillary's election. Say what you want about their marriage, with one you get two. They are a political super duo, and what one says the other must answer for.
How will she wrap up red states with statements like this from her husband? She probably wants to kill him right now.
Clinton is wrong.
Just heard about this on Laura Ingraham's program....what a disgusting p.o.s.!
lol. Brought peace?
Why, oh, why, can't he just quietly retire?
Great, so when Carter finally drops dead, we have Clintoon ready to step up to the plate....wonderful.
Clinton's mamma not aborting him was a much bigger mistake.
Lets see, what tour can Bush send Clinton on next to keep him on the world scene. I have my doubts about intentions of Bush.
Interesting analysis ... I hadn't thought of that.
These two carry enough baggage I think the public will just say, once was enough thank you.
..no I would have sat in my office and had pizza delivered,asked Monica to stop by,told Janet Reno to issue more arrest warrants for those pesky Mullahs...send a few more errant cruise missiles into the desert..thanked Jamie Corelick for totally covering up the information the military had about 9/11, and making that all look like Bush's fault...thanked Sandy Burger for getting rid of those loose ends...AND THANK ALLAH, the MSM keeps backing me and my stories. "If it weren't for them, hell, Hillary wouldn't even be a senator"...and now if Kofi can get to the internet, and get that muzzled,I'm home free. We'll be able to revise everything. Oh, by the way,those baskets, yeah the ones with the red and white stripes and smell like chicken... in the back of the auditorium...there for donations for my library.
Doogle
And why Pres Bush keeps on giving this guy air time via Hurricanne and Tsumami relief is unbelievable.
Another reason the PR machine needs to go at the White House. Stupid is as stupid does and whomever is responsible for suggesting Clinton be given roles to represent the USA needs to go.
We won the Iraq war in 2 weeks. What mistake is clinton referring to? It took 7 years in Germany to create a democracy. It took 6 year in Japan. Was it worth it? We are at year 2 1/2 years in Iraq, and WAY AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. Iraq is a huge success story, and history will show it to have been a bold and brilliant move, reshaping the Middle East forever. Democrats and the Democrat Media will have rooted for the enemy the whole time, but they too wil lose.
Note though that his complaints are NOT about the war or toppling Saddam, but rather what happened afterwards.
There is room for criticism of how we managed the aftermath of the war. Anybody remember that guy Garner, who was gone in a couple of months, followed by Bremmer, who in hindsight treated the Iraqi's like 2nd-class citizens of their own country and stirred up a LOT of resentment?
Meanwhile, the democrat leadership is saying they would take back their vote on Iraq. That is different than saying they would have had a plan for the aftermath.
Someone should ask Hillie what she thinks about what Bubba's saying. And about where he's being saying it.
This piece of s*it goes on foreign soil before a Muslim audience and badmouths our war effort. There is not a low enough ring in Dante's inferno to properly punish this punk.

(CNN) -- Former President Clinton has revealed that he continues to support President Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq but chastised the administration over the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison.
"I have repeatedly defended President Bush against the left on Iraq, even though I think he should have waited until the U.N. inspections were over," Clinton said in a Time magazine interview that will hit newsstands Monday, a day before the publication of his book "My Life."
Clinton, who was interviewed Thursday, said he did not believe that Bush went to war in Iraq over oil or for imperialist reasons but out of a genuine belief that large quantities of weapons of mass destruction remained unaccounted for.
Noting that Bush had to be "reeling" in the wake of the attacks of September 11, 2001, Clinton said Bush's first priority was to keep al Qaeda and other terrorist networks from obtaining "chemical and biological weapons or small amounts of fissile material."
"That's why I supported the Iraq thing. There was a lot of stuff unaccounted for," Clinton said in reference to Iraq and the fact that U.N. weapons inspectors left the country in 1998.
"So I thought the president had an absolute responsibility to go to the U.N. and say, 'Look, guys, after 9/11, you have got to demand that Saddam Hussein lets us finish the inspection process.' You couldn't responsibly ignore [the possibility that] a tyrant had these stocks," Clinton said.
Pressed on whether the Iraq war was worth the cost to the United States, Clinton said he would not have undertaken the war until after U.N. chief weapons inspector Hans Blix "finished his job."
Weapons inspectors led by Blix scoured Iraq for three and a half months before the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003 but left after President Bush issued an ultimatum to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to leave the country.
"I want it to have been worth it, even though I didn't agree with the timing of the attack," Clinton said.
Clinton blamed the Abu Ghraib prison abuses on poorly trained National Guard personnel and higher-ups in the Bush administration.
The former president said he was not surprised by the abuses committed by U.S. forces at Abu Ghraib but that he was surprised by their extent.
"There is no excuse for that," Clinton said.
Clinton blamed the abuses on the higher echelons of the Bush administration.
"The more we learn about it, the more it seems that some people fairly high up, at least, thought that this was the way it ought to be done," he said.
Implying that the United States should lead by example, Clinton said of the abuses, "No. 1, we can't pull stunts like that, and No. 2, when we do, whoever is responsible has to pay."
What a difference 18 months and the whiff of political points to be scored for his side makes.
