Former President Bill Clinton has resisted taking potshots at U.S. foreign policy as war unfolded in Iraq -- up until now.

On Monday, Mr. Clinton went on the offensive. "Our paradigm now seems to be: Something terrible happened to us on September 11, and that gives us the right to interpret all future events in a way that everyone else in the world must agree with us. And if they don't, they can go straight to hell," he told a symposium sponsored by Conference Board, a New York-based nonpartisan business research group.

Already posted. I think the quote of his credo, "If you got an interdependent world, and you cannot kill, jail or occupy all your adversaries, sooner or later you have to make a deal." was abbreviated. He forgot rape and blackmail...

I knew I would hit---dredge up the mother lode out there...

FOREVER DUMB ... May my herd always be loyal, (( cnn bots ))

(parody of "Forever Young")

May God bless and keep my lawyers,
May my bitch not piss-off Jews,
May y'all do it to each other,
And let the government do it to you.
May ol' Bill still matter to the stars
And rise above his scum,
And may you stay, forever dumb,
Forever dumb, forever dumb,
May you stay, forever dumb.

May ya’ cooperate with leeches,
May you grow up to be fools,
May the knowledge of my half-truths,
Just block the light around you too.
May y’all ignore outrages,
And let my guys take all your guns,
And may you stay, forever dumb,
Forever dumb, forever dumb,
May you stay, forever dumb.

Forever dumb, forever dumb,
May you stay, forever dumb.

May old "Handsome" always be sleazy,
May the meek always vote left,
May I mask equivocations,
When the winds of change may shift.
May my herd always be loyal,
May my throngs always be numb,
And may you stay, forever dumb,
Forever dumb, forever dumb,
May you stay, forever dumb.

thanks!

"We can't run," Mr. Clinton continued. "If you got an interdependent world, and you cannot kill, jail or occupy all your adversaries, sooner or later you have to make a deal."

Now that the war is essentially over, Mr. Clinton seems to have started his own debate.

Yes, his own debate, but not for the Democrats. He's running for Secretary General of the U.N.

Truth is Clinton wasn't very successfull with foreign issues...in some regards he got lucky..as several events spun out of control during his watch.
Mogadishu being one..which was tragic..but could have been far worse.

India and Pakistan were snapping off underground nukes...daily artillery duels....launching missiles with full t.v. coverage feed to the populace.
India and Pakistan nearly went on each other...Bills reflection was this would be terrible..masses who perish..radiation would drift around for a while.
Finally at 11:59 he pulled Pakistans leader in...read him the riot act....later a coup occured in Pakistan..enter Musharraf.

Into the Breach

In tense South Asia, U.S. President Bill Clinton may face one raw, ruptured relationship he cannot heal
By ANTHONY SPAETH New Delhi

When Air Force One touches down in New Delhi on March 19, Bill Clinton will set foot in a region he described last week as "the most dangerous place in the world today." In the words of his Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, the Indian subcontinent is a "tinderbox." Clinton waited until the last moment to add a whistle-stop in Pakistan to his itinerary. A major consideration: with heavy-duty terrorists in nearby Afghanistan and plenty of anti-American sentiment in the air, would Clinton be safe?.

Bin Laden...Al qaeda...Arafat and terror orgs mid east...India/Pakistan.

Big long Liberal sleep.

He's running for Secretary General of the U.N.

And he's a shoo-in, being even more corrupt and amoral than Kofi Annan. Since the UN is a global socialist mafia, x42 would be the perfect don.

First the excrement flinging shrieking (that should be targeted at Saddam instead) shows how much of a mad radical and dictator wannabe Clinton is. He completely dismisses the way Bush went to great length at the UN to make the case only to be shut out by French obstruction of justice and US voice at the UN, vetoing resolutions before they are written.

Seems to me he is reinterpreting his own policy about his friends and foes and his racist pro-Albanian policy in Kosovo that mirrored Milosevitch's own pro-Serb policy. The Iraqi people as a whole have self representation in Iraq, unlike in the Kosovo affair where Clinton's anti-White-Christian bent showed again in how he made the slavs upset and denied them a voice on the future of Kosovo, letting the KLA led cleansing go on, orienting the Serbs dangerously toward siding with Milosevitch, Russian Orthodox nationalism and Communists.

The man is disgusting beyond belief. We are still reaping the damages. If one liberal would try to forgive him, the one liberal would not be able to honestly do that, because Clinton is so full of secret treacheries that we do not even know what he could be forgiven about....

Too bad Congress avoided finding the truth by not impeaching him and continuing on the momentum of finding the truth about Gore and Clinton evil deals that lead to 911 and worse.

Can you believe this? This is the stuff of excrement, what Hitler would say.

"Former presidents always keep their fingers on the pulse of these issues. And there is nothing they like better than articulating alternative arguments. It goes with the territory," she said yesterday.

Newt Gingrich nailed it right on the head on yesterday's Sean Hannity's Radio Show. He called Clinton's remarks part of Presidential Envy... Clinton's failure as a President is spilling over in these comments.

He realized/or maybe never will... that his Presidency was an utter failure, now that he says what a real leader can do.

Reason Clintons hated Newt so much he knew Clintons soft spot.

I think that the Clintons know that the only way to mask their failure is to regain power.

I think Bill Clinton speakes to three different groups, world socialist, US socialists, (their base) and the 1/3 that he seduced into keeping his poll numbers high.

Bill owes Hillary and while he may let his envy slip out, he can't help himself when he goes off topic. I am sure that his future speeches will be more tightly scripted, probably going to get a good slapping by the itch.
