"I was FOR regime change before I was against it."

Former President Bill Clinton stopped in the metro area Monday to discuss the state of the world with Aurora business leaders and also pick up some campaign cash for wife Hillary later in the day at a Boulder fundraiser.
Clinton made only one overt reference to her presidential campaign during his talk to a crowd of about 2,500 at the annual luncheon of the Aurora Economic Development Council, held in Denver at the Colorado Convention Center, saying he hoped not to “cost her any votes” with his commentary.
And, he directed no criticism at the current occupant of the White House, but did give negative reviews to the central theme of President George Bush’s presidency – the global fight against terror and, specifically, the war in Iraq.
“I do not agree with our policy in Iraq, but I would be prepared to double down in Afghanistan, “ Clinton said, “because you have a moderate Muslim democracy, and they don't want the Taliban back, and you don't want al-Qaeda being able to run around, there,” said Clinton.
Clinton said he perceives America, and the world at large, to be suffering three specific maladies: gross inequality between people, the inability to sustain indefinitely the current lifestyles many currently enjoy without irrevocably damaging the planet, and the insecurity resulting from terrorism and ongoing military conflicts.
Tanned and seemingly relaxed, sounding at times almost professorial, Clinton identified one overriding theme he said is at the root of many current global ills.

Who cares what you think.
Huh? Clinton comes out against HIS OWN Iraqi policy? Wait, what?

“I do not agree with our policy in Iraq, but I would be prepared to double down in Afghanistan, “ Clinton said, “because you have a moderate Muslim democracy, and they don’t want the Taliban back, and you don’t want al-Qaeda being able to run around, there,” said Clinton.
Oh, but I take it you do want al-Qaeda to be able to run around in Iraq. What a jackass!
They must be worried about the positive news in Iraq as more and more people are now agreeing with the policy. The Dems want and NEED our military to fail along with our war on terrorists.
What a coincidence.
Norman Hsu was on the train in Colorado when he became “ill”.
Exactly. Who cares what you NOW think.
“”If Saddam rejects peace, and we have to use force, our purpose is clear: We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.”
-President Bill Clinton
And which U.S. President signed the law authorizing the U.S. overthrow of Saddam? Correct. Bill Clinton.
The guy is like herpes. Won’t go away and flares up every now and then.
IMO, Bubba is an expert on “womanizing and BJs” in the Oval Office “only.” Therefore, anything else he spews forth is bogus. His shrill wife, Hitlery, is an expert on “womanizing damage control” only, therefore that’s all she’s expert at. Neither one of them is capable of running anything including their own lives.
Go get yerself a paint job, bubba.
So he advocates communism, working less, and ??????
has been? never was!
what the HELL does that mean?
Oh and as for disagreeing with Iraq policy? It was his...(regime change was Bill [the Rapist] Clinton's STATED OBJECTIVE)
LLS
Okay, Slick. You have reproved the fact that you are totally clueless and unable think beyond your pathetic penis.
My thoughts exactly. LOL
