SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Attacking his country may give Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein the reason he needs to use weapons of mass destruction against the United States and its allies, former President Bill Clinton said Friday. Clinton said the current administration should move cautiously regarding Iraq and urged President Bush to listen to Congress and the American public.

Clinton, who was attending a Group of Eight summit in nearby Cologne in 1999, donated the white colonial-style Stimson Memorial Chapel as a goodbye gesture...

The Taliban gave the Americans a brisk tour, showing off a concrete traffic booth...

Jul. 30, 05:48 EDT Clinton flies in with a peace plan Ellie Tesher Columnist The best solution to the Middle East conflict is an interim settlement "to establish a Palestinian state now," former U.S. president Bill Clinton says.   But Clinton also stressed that the creation of such a state must be preceded by security assurances for Israel and a timetable to resolve other issues. Clinton delivered that message last night to an audience at a sold-out Toronto Hadassah-WIZO children's charity fundraising dinner. "The daily lives of Palestinians and Israelis are bound up together," he told the crowd of...

<p>STARKE, Fla. -- Janet Reno loves campaigning in the nooks and crannies of her home state, but even this far from the nation's capital her Clinton connections come up in the funniest of ways.</p> <p>As the candidate for governor trolled for votes on a hot July day, a man who introduced himself as "just an old redneck from Bradford County" told Reno she was a "good lookin' gal" and wondered how she escaped former President Bill Clinton's clutches.</p>

The Next Kennedy Kathleen Kennedy Townsend's campaign for the Maryland statehouse . . . and beyond. by Matt Labash 08/05/2002, Volume 007, Issue 45 BALTIMORE On a June afternoon, the streets of Baltimore sweat like the inside of a humidifier. But the shirt-clinging stickiness does not hamper Maryland's lieutenant governor, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. As befits a member of the tribe of Robert F. Kennedy (now 51, Kathleen is his oldest child), she has no discernible body fat and is an avid outdoorswoman who once climbed the Matterhorn in the snow. At the run-down Arena Playhouse, she plows through the door,...

They're baaack! It's not surprising that alumni of the Clinton administration are jousting to return to public life, pining for the power and prestige they once enjoyed in the White House. What is surprising — and of growing interest to the 2004 Democratic presidential hopefuls — is how the Clinton alumni are talking about their former boss and his contested legacy. Or, in some cases, not talking about it. "Is a Clinton connection a political plus or the mark of Cain?" wondered New York Times columnist William Safire recently. No less than six Clinton alumni are on the ballot...

By a margin of 2 to 1, Americans blame ex-president Clinton over President Bush for failing to stop last September's terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, a new Fox News/Opinion Dynamics survey reveals. As hearings into 9-11's intelligence failures were getting underway last week on Capitol Hill, 900 registered voters were asked, "Who do you think deserves the most blame for the failure of the United States to prevent the September 11 terrorist attacks?" The results were shared exclusively with NewsMax.com. Just 6 percent answered President Bush. But twice that number, 12 percent, blamed his predecessor Bill...

Former Vice President Dan Quayle said Monday night that the lack of a firm policy to deal with terrorism during the Clinton administration was more responsible for leaving America vulnerable to the 9-11 attacks than any FBI or CIA intelligence failures. "I don't believe 9-11 happened because of an intelligence breach," Quayle told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes." "I think it was really a policy breach. It was the inaction of the previous administration, by and large, that al Qaeda -- and bin Laden in particular -- thought that they could hit the United States, and there would be...

Last week former President Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian honor Congress can bestow. I believe that, if history is fair, Ronald Reagan will be remembered for his extraordinary accomplishments. That part about history being fair is pretty dicey. For the people who fashion history, the deep thinkers, the intelligentsia, the media, tend to be Leftist. And that perspective colors their opinion of the man and his administration. To many of those people, Ronald Reagan was a mean-spirited simpleton who somehow managed to bungle his way into becoming the most powerful...

Armey loses race for U.S. House seat Political novice defeats Armey for nomination By DARREN BARBEE Star-Telegram Staff Writer Political novice Michael Burgess derailed Scott Armey's quest to succeed his father in Congress, defeating the Denton County judge Tuesday to become the Republican nominee for the District 26 House seat. The Highland Village obstetrician collected 55 percent of the vote, despite being outspent by a ratio of 3-to-1 by Armey and opposition from the state's party hierarchy, including Armey's father, House Majority Leader Dick Armey, and U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm. Armey had 45 percent of the vote with 178 of...

I don’t care how long it’s been since Clinton dragged his sorry carcass – and anything else he could swipe – out of the White House. I don’t want to forget the Clinton years. I don’t want to move on. I don’t want to put it all behind me. I hate Clinton as ardently now as when he energetically defiled the Nation on a daily basis. I hate his wife, and his daughter, too. And I won’t be satisfied until everyone hates them as much as I do. That, you may argue, isn’t feasible, despite the multitude of excellent reasons...

Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson have the lowest retrospective approval ratings. Bill Clinton -- measured for the first time since leaving office -- ranks only sixth. Clinton’s...

Tarnished Legacy The time has come for our representatives and senators to decide if they will keep their oaths to "protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" or vote to shred the First Amendment. The issue is the deceptively named Campaign Finance Reform Bill. Proponents of this bill, notably Senator McCain with those silver balls in his hand like the captain in "the Cain Mutiny," claim this bill sets the stage for a new era in the way money is spent to influence politics. In truth, it will ruin your right to free speech without doing a thing...
