Bill Clinton: Saddam's Aides Mostly 'Good, Decent'

Former president Bill Clinton praised Saddam Hussein's lieutenants and their underlings on Tuesday, saying they were mostly "good" and "decent" people."

"When [the U.S.] kicked out Saddam, they decided to dismantle the whole authority structure," Clinton told an audience at American University in Dubai. "Most of the people who were part of that structure were good, decent people who were making the best out of a very bad situation," he added.

While Clinton didn't name, names, Saddam's authority structure was dominated by his two murderous sons, Uday and Qusay, as well as notorious characters like Ali Hassan al-Majid, [aka Chemical Ali], Barzan al-Takriti, who ran the Iraq's brutal intelligence service, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, who governed northern Iraq during chemical weapon attacks in the Kurds, and Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash [aka Mrs. Anthrax], who was a member of Saddam's Baathist National Command.

Clinton offered praise for Saddam's lieutenants during the same speech where he criticized the U.S. invasion of Iraq as "a big mistake."

IMHO, Bill Clintoon is an absolute idiot.

I know he was a Roques Scholar, but this is beyond the pale.

[null and void]

Did I miss anything?

His wife?

[tumblindice]

JFK's gravesite: eternal flame

WJC* and JEC: flush handles on their tombstones, industrial-grade sump pumps and bronze `plumbers helpers'

Cold? Yeah, it is.

[Mr. Keys]

That POS doesn't know the meaning of those words.

[Agent Smith]

This sounds like the comments General Patton made about Nazi civil servants and denazification in 1945 after the war. As I recall Patton was called out on the carpet by Ike and Truman. Who is going to straighten out the bent one for his transgression?

[DCPatriot]

If Saddams' aides are so decent, how come we ended up with a complete deck of playing cards with MOST WANTED by the Coalition?

[mothball]

I bet Clinton will be in a state of depression if Castro has Parkinson's.

[kAcknor]

Didn't somebody try this same argument on behalf of Nazi officials after WWII?

So WHAT if they were decent?!

By their inaction against the evil they enabled they are guilty.

Here is what Bill is doing. He's having his wife as the pro-war person - he becomes the anti-war perseon - that covers both sides - this way this can boost up Hillary's chances in 2008 to run for president. This is all for 2008 - he wants to be in that White House.

POLITICS ENDS AT THE WATER'S EDGE!

Hey, Bill...I got some quotes you, as a good "Christian" might know...

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20

Jesus also dealt with this: I wonder if he was predicting the modern Lamestream Mediots?

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchers which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Matthew 23:27-28

But I believe that this is how Wormwood Clinton is best remembered...

The bloody BASTARD doesn't miss a beat...camrea spotted...TEARS ON!

Man, this guy is SOOOOO scummy...he oozes pure Evil!

He goes around making these grandoise statements (Hillary is making a run @ WH) like he doesn't realize he was the subject of so many off-color jokes both here and abroad.
We had a sociopath leading our country for EIGHT YEARS!! And he's getting sicker. His insides are showing on his face more than ever - not just his nose anymore.

Too bad they didn't catch him when Saddam was in power.

He didn't have a beard to set on fire, but I think they could have pounded several nails through his skull while they were raping his wife.

I believe that was what some of Saddam's decent lieutenants did to a Shiite Mullah who irritated him.

On the other hand, perhaps Chemical Aly could have served him up a cocktail he never would forget.

Clinton and his wife are so transparent that their popularity is more a tribute to the gullibility of the American public than their own deviousness at this point.

[defenderSD]

He's the gift that keeps on giving to the GOP. We have to hope he doesn't die of heart failure before 11/08.

[MikeA]

And Democrats have the nerve to call Bush "dumb" after Clinton makes a moronic comment like this? I guess all those acts of torture and mass murder were carried out by Saddam himself, not the "good and decent people" that worked for his regime huh Bill? Go away ya putz.

[fish hawk]

Would someone please check Willie's birth papers again. I believe that Jimmy Carter is his real dad.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

This horn-dog's brain has been severely effected by social(ist) diseases.

Is it just me, or is it a full court press by the Dems to appease the looney left (aka Hillary Voters) these days?

Man, if anyone was EVER fooled by this guy and his wife, their True Colors sure are showing these days. Yeesh!
