Bill Clinton Calls Iraq 'Big Mistake' Nov 16 2:23 PM US/Eastern

By LARA SUKHTIAN Associated Press Writer

Excerpt: DUBAI, United Arab Emirates Former President Clinton told Arab students Wednesday the United States made a "big mistake" when it invaded Iraq, stoking the partisan debate back home over the war.

Clinton cited the lack of planning for what would happen after Saddam Hussein was overthrown.

"Saddam is gone. It's a good thing, but I don't agree with what was done," Clinton told students at a forum at the American University of Dubai.

"It was a big mistake. The American government made several errors ... one of which is how easy it would be to get rid of Saddam and how hard it would be to unite the country."

911 probably would NOT have happened if not for Clinton's mistakes. Who is he to run around the world saying Iraq is a mistake - Oh I know - just another Jimmy Carter.

Americans made many errors in electing a trailer trash pervert to be a US President.

More true than you know. Alot of Liberals blame Bush for 9/11, but 9/11 wasen't planned overnight. Bill Clinton was more concerned with getting his blowjob from the Intern of the Week, rather than doing the duty he was sworn to do.

I think Clinton was a "mistake". His father probably thought so too. Did you ever see his mother? Ye Gods.

Clinton's legacy will not be helped by his futile try at diminishing President Bush's, nor is it going to help get his wife elected president.

But this speech IS seditious.

Taking a post presidential popularity and trashing your country with it. Wonderful job!

Every President leaves with a Legacy. Clinton's only Legacy was the "oral office" image and a stained dress.

Larry Flint once praised Clinton as being "one of his guys". I guess it takes a perv to know a perv.

The only big mistake for Bill is the stain on the blue dress.

Bill Clinton calls Iraq "Big Mistake"

All those who voted for Perot instead of Bush also realized what a big mistake their stupid protest was as well.

I think they are scared to death of success.

Bring President should not be a popularity contest.

I heard that Jay Rockefeller stated he had taken a trip to the Mideast pre-2003 and told leaders that the US will invade Iraq - that Bush had made up his mind.

Where is the Senate on this?

True, true.... :-)

But now, his "LEGACY" is the president who could have prevented 9/11 and didn't, as well!
