Former President Bill Clinton on Thursday said the Bush administration should not take action against Iraq without guidance from chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix and the support of Europe.
"We should let Blix lead us to come together," Clinton said, addressing members of a synagogue. "Everyone knows [Iraqi President] Saddam [Hussein] needs to disarm or get out of town ... [but] he won't do it unless the world is united."
Calling Blix a "tough, honest guy who is trying to find the truth," Clinton said the Bush administration should support the head weapons inspector.
Blix will give a progress report to the U.N. Security Council on Friday.
Clinton said any "pre-emptive strike" against Iraq by the United States should come only with the support of Europe, including NATO members France, Belgium and Germany.

Blix couldn't even be suited to investigate the Clinton's trail of murders, rapes, and personal destruction of those who dared to raise a question.

Clinton needs to be tried for treason for allowing Hussein to kick out the inspectors and build weapons.

This traitorous scum is positioning the RATS so that when there are some difficulties with our war on Iraq, the RATS will be better able to carp and complain. To come up with *I told you so*

Unlike other ex-presidents, Bill Clinton will never shut the [blank] up and retire gracefully.

In 1996 the government of Sudan had Osama bin Laden in their custody and offered to hand him over to the United States. What did Billy choose to do? Turn them down!

Bill Clinton doesn't have a clue what gracefully means. He is still having trouble with 'is'.

Did anyone point out yet that if Clinton had done the right thing about Saddam in 1998 we wouldn't be going through this now?
Not to mention that Clinton didn't take UBL when he was offered on a silver platter and he never avenged the Cole or the embassy bombings or....

Notice that weight lost too huh??
Wonder what is causing it?

To: thermodynamics
I don't care what's causing it as long as it continues quickly to the point where what's left assumes ambient temp. Usually very hesitant to wish this sort of thing on anyone, but this POS has done more to damage the well being and security of the American people than a host of foreign enemies and he sorely deserves to waste away to nothing.

To: Opaque
Clinton needs to be tried for treason for allowing Hussein to kick out the inspectors and build weapons. And for allowing terrorism to go unchecked in the world which lead to the WTC atack, and for bringing us another recession, and for allowing the DPRK problem to develop. Other than that, he's probably a nice guy
