Bill Clinton says Bush erred by giving Saddam priority over bin Laden
Boston Globe (AP) ^ | 5/11/2004 | RICHARD PYLE

NEW YORK -- President Bush wasted international sympathy for the United States after the 2001 terrorist attacks by shifting from the search for Osama bin Laden to the ousting of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, former President Clinton said Tuesday.

The move alienated many U.S. allies and created a false impression among Americans that Saddam had a key role in the al-Qaida-engineered terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Clinton said. "I think the world was really pulling for us after 9-11," he said, but the Bush administration "divided the world ... to pursue our vision _ not because of any imminent threat but because that's what they wanted to do."

Maybe Bush can speak out on all the last minute pardons from the Arkansas Mafia leader? Maybe Bush can tell us why the TWA 800 investiagtion went nowhere? Clinton had better shut his pie hole. I wonder how Marc Rich and Pincus Greene are doing these days? Any truth to the rumors Marc Rich was getting rich off the Oil for Food money belonging to the Iraq people?

Just like His Shallowness to confuse expressions with depth.

That's why all his "important" policies fell apart.

Thanks for the advice, parasite.

That's how much the traitor in chief knows about American military. Our military has been set up to take care of 2 fronts at the same time. We have two fronts, they are neighbors. But then, what kind of remarks can we expect from a traitorous commander-in-chief, a womanizer, a draftdodger, a pot smoking, pervericating, thong snapping, sociopathic, self-centered, narcisstic, meglomaniac, back stabbing sub-human. (I've run out of words).

I almost pressed the Report Abuse button, Clinton lacks the integrity to make ANY comments on ANYTHING.

Wait , wasn't this the same guy that was getting a "Hinkleman" while talking on the phone with a Congressman, about sending troops to Bosnia? F*** him, and the Whores he rode in on! Here's another thing I don't think alot of people understand. We went to Iraq with a dual purpose, one was to get Sadamm, the other was to draw those "elements" in the region into the kill box. We've succeeded on both counts one objective is finished the other continues. Rush suggested dropping a nuke on them and let them start over, the big reboot so to speak. After watching the decapitation video I'm all for it.

First, it isn't funny. Second, he did nothing about it. He didn't care. Nothing mattered to that jackass except getting satisfied in the Oval Office or wherever he could get it. We are going to be paying for years for this *)*)+_&() jackass.
