what a jackass...blow job bill and his half measured presidency.

"okay, we'll throw a few firecrackers at them and hope for the best"

[Rummyfan]

And then of course he did..... virtually nothing!

Funny. But yet another reminder about what a feckless president "Willie" really was.

Thanks for the reminder, T-C.

"Third, in halting our air strikes in November, I gave Saddam a chance, not a license"...

Hypocrisy alert to the UN, Daschle, Kerry, Chirac, Putin, Schroeder et al. Oh and I believe to the man who gave this speech.

Good thing for us someone actually DID something about it. President George W Bush & Hon. PM Tony Blair

The old definition of "chutzvah" in Yiddish dictionaries used to involve the example of the kid who murders his parents and then demands leniency for being an orphan. In future time the example used should be the president who starts a war the day prior to being impeached and then has some flunkie like Dickless Gephardt try to keep his face straight while claiming that it's unpatriotic to start an impeachment with a war in progress.

[Always Right]

Actually one of the better speeches Clinton made, too bad he seemed to forgot what he once knew.

[Budge]

POP!

"Hillary, Hillary, I just had that recurring nightmare where I acted presidential instead of the way you made me do it," Bill cried as he ran toward Hillary's bedroom!

"Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas, or biological weapons. "

R.W Apple: "In a brilliant move, President Clinton ordered the commencement of an operational pause against Saddam Hussein today. Several soon-to-be retired military officers lauded him for containing Hussein "on the cheap"... "

[No Truce With Kings]

The difference between the George W. Bush ADMINISTRATION (not regime, Sen. Kerry) and the William Clinton ADMINISTRATION is the difference between the lightning and the lightning bug.

[Hamilton2]

I had to read this twice before I realized it was Bill Clinton talking. How many times did he invoke God's name during his administration - at least in a positive way.

MAKES ME WANT TO PUKE

The hard fact is that so long as Saddam remains in power, he threatens the well-being of his people, the peace of his region, the security of the world. The best way to end that threat once and for all is with the new Iraqi government, a government ready to live in peace with its neighbors, a government that respects the rights of its people.

Hmmmmm it only took 1,551 days from this statement for this to come to fruition.

God Bless G.W. Bush

[Chi-townChief]

bump

[TheSpottedOwl]

Doesn't this have to do with the incident in that new book coming out, where Clinton was at a golf game and they were ready to take off and bomb Baghdad? Clinton was too wrapped up in hanging with his buddies and they lost their window of opportunity?

"The United States will not flag in supporting your efforts to promote a change of regime. I believe that there can be no peace for the Iraqi people and a genuine peace for the people of the Middle East so long as Saddam is in a position to brutalise his people and threaten his neighbours," ~ Al Gore to a group of Iraqi opposition leaders, July 2000

Would somebody please post this speech over yonder on DU? Course, it will probably get pulled and quick.

[MonroeDNA]

Wonderful find!!!

Clinton's speech should be posted on the
WSJ editorial page, with no comment necessary.

It reveals so much/
