"Of course he's got a GUILTY CONSCIENCE. That's exactly why he is so passionate trying to rewrite history about how he let Bin Laden go. He knows he screwed up big time, and left President Bush a national security mess."

I'm late to the show here, but one thing you have to understand about Bill Clinton is that he does not have a guilty conscience. Narcissists do not feel guilt.

Nothing is their fault at all. They know the words "I'm sorry," but they are incapable of being sorry or "feeling your pain." They can only feel their own pain and it's always someone else's fault.

Diagnostic criteria (ICD-10)

Chapter V of the tenth revision of the International Classification of Diseases offers a set of criteria for diagnosing the related construct of dissocial personality disorder.

Dissocial Personality Disorder (F60.2), usually coming to attention because of a gross disparity between behavior and the prevailing social norms, and characterized by:

* callous unconcern for the feelings of others;
* gross and persistent attitude of irresponsibility and disregard for social norms, rules, and obligations;
* incapacity to maintain enduring relationships, though having no difficulty in establishing them;
* very low tolerance to frustration and a low threshold for discharge of aggression, including violence;
* incapacity to experience guilt or to profit from experience, particularly punishment;
* marked proneness to blame others, or to offer plausible rationalizations, for the behavior that has brought the patient into conflict with society.

There may also be persistent irritability as an associated feature. Conduct disorder during childhood and adolescence, though not invariably present, may further support the diagnosis.
