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."

This guy is a world class mistake maker, so he fancies himself a consultant on mistakes.

Great, more music from Captian Pertard of the U.S.S.R. Winderprise!
Around our house, when a Clinton speaks it is noted by it's more common name: a fart.

mark. Bill Clinton at a WEF suggested "tribal quotas" as a means to organizing the new Iraqi government. However, as recent events in Bagdad has revealed, "tribes" taking offices by storm, is not an American failure. The Democrats tying the hands of the American military and diplomats IS a problem.
BS, also, to the dem crapola on "torture". Dems love torture, they are all for it -- when THEIR GUYS ARE DOING IT.

When I was a kid (early 1950's) one of the standard comebacks for being called a name was "takes one to know one."
I can't think of a better comeback for Clinton calling something a mistake.

Clinton is a particularly spineless bastard. Always has been, always will be.
