WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former President Clinton praised the capture of Saddam Hussein and said the ousted Iraqi president finally will answer "for decades of tyranny and murder.""I am glad he was captured alive so he can be brought before the bar of justice," Clinton said Sunday in a statement.
Clinton saluted U.S. troops, who found the bearded and disheveled former dictator in an underground hide-out on a farm near his hometown, Tikrit. Clinton also congratulated his successor in the White House.
"Saddam Hussein's capture is a tribute to the skill and bravery of our troops and the good work of our intelligence officers," Clinton said. "I know President Bush is very proud of our troops today. I congratulate him and them."
Clinton, who ordered bombing and missile strikes against Iraqi targets in the 1990s, said he hoped the seizure would help bring more stability to the country.
"I hope his capture will speed Iraq's transformation to a secure and self-governing nation and increase international support for and involvement in meeting the big challenges ahead," he said.
Only what Jimmy says will be newsworthy of course.
She's quoted as saying, "What did Bush know, and when did he know it?"

The Saints are 20 yards away from putting a 50-spot on the board against our G-Men. 45-7 as I type. But I still haven't stopped smiling since my Dad woke me at 7:15 this morning...
Let's think of the nice draft pick 4-12 will get us.
Excellent point agyg! You'd have to know about the rule of law, to know anything about justice, and he's still trying to figure out what the meaning of "is" is.
High five fellow, "Blonde Bush Babe!"

Very cool !
Or, since this IS a clintoon thread, I should have posted ...
That's President George W. Bush to you, reprobate!
The Clinton administration "spun" America's terrorist problem when it re-emerged in February 1993, with the bombing of the World Trade Center, one month into Bill Clinton's first term in office. New York FBI believed that was a "false flag" operation run by Iraq, working with and hiding behind Islamic militants.

ADDENDUM 12.13.03: As for pathologic self-interest, check out Richard Miniter's C-SPAN interview; the interview is contained in my latest virtual hillary movie (below), hillary talks:ON TERROR; it is absolutely devastating for the clintons. Miniter lays out in sickening detail the clintons' monumental failure to protect America. Note in particular Madeleine Albright's shocking reason given at the time of the USS Cole attack why the clinton administration should not respond militarily. It tell us everything we need to know about the clintons. It tell us why clinton redux is an absolutely suicidal notion. Notwithstanding their cowardice, corruption, perfidy and essential stupidity, the clintons, according to Albright, made their decision not to go after the terrorists primarily to enhance their own legacy and power. The clintons calculated that such inaction would MAXIMIZE THEIR CHANCES TO RECEIVE THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. No matter that that inaction would also maximize the terrorists' power, maximize America's danger.

Boyyyyyy that's really saying something.......... Billy Jeff is such a peasant, isn't he? He couldn't even wait 24 hours before issuing a statement.'It's all about what billy jeff thinks'---he actually believes this. I'm just relieved to know that he'll never be able to fill up that big hole in his stomach, no matter what he does,for as long as he lives.
LOL !!
