Yes lets equate a sexual indescretion with selling weapons to an avowed enemy of the USA.

Hey big mouth if Monica was your daughter would you feel that way?

If she's an adult, my feelings would not enter into the legality of it.

Also because she had already dated a married man before she became an intern.

Except this one happened to be her superior. How does a CEO sleeping with an intern go over in the boardroom? Not too well. The CEO will be fired. The company sued for sexual harassment.
And if the CEO lies under oath about it, it's even worse. Except if you're Bill Clinton and protected by the so-called feminist movement.

Hello and good morning.

Just a thought appropos of nothing. He has entered his sunset years and while I certainly hope that the man lives as long as he wants; obviously that won't happen.

I am hopeful that perhaps we can try to remain civil if/when he passes. He was a great public servant who served with honor in various capacities. I disagreed with him on several things; pardoning most of the Iran Contra chief amonst these.

When a man passes; it's not the time to be critical of him; there'll be time later. So please, when it finally happens; remember how you'd like to be remembered and try to muster some class for this distinguished American.

We are each remembered for what we were and what we did.

For GHWB Iran Contra comes to mnd.

And for Bill Clinton sticking cigars in Monica's private comes to mind!..Idiot!

Yes, those two things are equal.

This man was an officer during WWII, he had been head of the CIA, Vice President and President. He was a pretty good president. He chased Saddam out of Kuwait and stopped at the border of Iraq understanding how bad nation building would be for the US. There is no doubt he parked satellites over Iraq and set the CIA to work watching Iraq to make sure they didn't develop WMD's. He understood world and national events. He did what was in the best interests of this country as he saw things. My position on his presidency has never changed.

I will pass on discussing his son.

Your analogy of a CEO to someone who was elected by the American people(twice) desn't even sound good. I noticed that Kenneth Star and the Republicans tried for two terms to remove him from office and when it turned out that some of the ones doing the impeaching were just as guilty of the same offenses.... it didn't work. Bill Clinton left office after two terms with a 65% approval rating. Not bad for a country boy from Arkansas.

He did the same thing with auto theft and arson...tried to equate them with Bill getting a BJ.

It's just the typical RW wheel of false equivalence.

I think Daddy Bush was respected by both sides of the aisle when he was President. Not that they supported all of his policies but he had personal respect.

When he dies, I think there will be an outpouring of respect for a great American

Yeah...met with the president of Mexico and the prime minister of Canada and set up the god damndest trade scheme in the history of the world. In the 1992 debates H. Ross Perot told both Bush and Clinton that if NAFTA was approved that giant sucking sound would be jobs leaving America. He was a prophet.

No, we loved him because he was moderate and pragmatic

He had a better understanding of global politics than Reagan and he kept the Conservative economic extremists at bay. He understood the value of compromise and how to get things done in Washington

I'll always remember him as the spook on scene the day Kennedy was killed...

It's not often that you and I see things from the same perspective, so I have to rep you when we do!

Depends on how one looks at it. When Saddam Hussein tried to assassinate Bush41 in 1993 little did he know that he provided a reason for Bush's son to spend a trillion dollars and get over 4500 young Americans killed. That's the only reason we invaded iraq....Texas justice.

^^ Won't be civil. Guaranteed.

When the full story of Obama's utter incompetence comes out, you'll wish we were only talking about sexual indiscretions.

Read this letter and the signatories:

The Honorable William J. Clinton
President of the United States
Washington, DC


Dear Mr. President:

We are writing you because we are convinced that current American policy toward Iraq is not succeeding, and that we may soon face a threat in the Middle East more serious than any we have known since the end of the Cold War. In your upcoming State of the Union Address, you have an opportunity to chart a clear and determined course for meeting this threat. We urge you to seize that opportunity, and to enunciate a new strategy that would secure the interests of the U.S. and our friends and allies around the world. That strategy should aim, above all, at the removal of Saddam Hussein’s regime from power. We stand ready to offer our full support in this difficult but necessary endeavor.

The policy of “containment” of Saddam Hussein has been steadily eroding over the past several months. As recent events have demonstrated, we can no longer depend on our partners in the Gulf War coalition to continue to uphold the sanctions or to punish Saddam when he blocks or evades UN inspections. Our ability to ensure that Saddam Hussein is not producing weapons of mass destruction, therefore, has substantially diminished. Even if full inspections were eventually to resume, which now seems highly unlikely, experience has shown that it is difficult if not impossible to monitor Iraq’s chemical and biological weapons production. The lengthy period during which the inspectors will have been unable to enter many Iraqi facilities has made it even less likely that they will be able to uncover all of Saddam’s secrets. As a result, in the not-too-distant future we will be unable to determine with any reasonable level of confidence whether Iraq does or does not possess such weapons.


Such uncertainty will, by itself, have a seriously destabilizing effect on the entire Middle East. It hardly needs to be added that if Saddam does acquire the capability to deliver weapons of mass destruction, as he is almost certain to do if we continue along the present course, the safety of American troops in the region, of our friends and allies like Israel and the moderate Arab states, and a significant portion of the world’s supply of oil will all be put at hazard. As you have rightly declared, Mr. President, the security of the world in the first part of the 21st century will be determined largely by how we handle this threat.


Given the magnitude of the threat, the current policy, which depends for its success upon the steadfastness of our coalition partners and upon the cooperation of Saddam Hussein, is dangerously inadequate. The only acceptable strategy is one that eliminates the possibility that Iraq will be able to use or threaten to use weapons of mass destruction. In the near term, this means a willingness to undertake military action as diplomacy is clearly failing. In the long term, it means removing Saddam Hussein and his regime from power. That now needs to become the aim of American foreign policy.

We urge you to articulate this aim, and to turn your Administration's attention to implementing a strategy for removing Saddam's regime from power. This will require a full complement of diplomatic, political and military efforts. Although we are fully aware of the dangers and difficulties in implementing this policy, we believe the dangers of failing to do so are far greater. We believe the U.S. has the authority under existing UN resolutions to take the necessary steps, including military steps, to protect our vital interests in the Gulf. In any case, American policy cannot continue to be crippled by a misguided insistence on unanimity in the UN Security Council.

We urge you to act decisively. If you act now to end the threat of weapons of mass destruction against the U.S. or its allies, you will be acting in the most fundamental national security interests of the country. If we accept a course of weakness and drift, we put our interests and our future at risk.

Sincerely,

Elliott Abrams Richard L. Armitage William J. Bennett

He was ten times the President W was.

I always remember him tearing up because he thought Jeb was denied his shot at president. Jeb could be the best of them all
