Unbelievable. Another Bill Clinton bashing thread. Last time I checked we were in the 21st century.
It seems this is your way of denying the failures of our current administration. The reality is, Bush makes Clinton look like a saint.
THIS IS THE STUFF OF SAINTS?

Good Old Billy "Blow The Balls" Clintons Connections to real good guys like Suharto you know the person responsible for three genocides (Indonesia, East Timor, and West Papua). When Suharto visited Washington in 1995 a Clinton administration official was quoted in the New York Times as saying that Suharto was "our kind of guy." YEAH A MURDEROUS PSYCHO...
Clinton was none too concerned about this guys record, at least not concerned enough to call him what he was a "BAD GUY".
On June 26, 1993, Clinton bombed Baghdad in retaliation for an alleged but unproven Iraq plot to assassinate former President George Bush. Eight Iraqi civilians, including the distinguished Iraqi artist Layla al-Attar were killed in the raid, and 12 more were wounded. This kind of unilateral action in response to an unproven charge is a violation of international law. -- HE WOULDN'T WOULD HE?
The legal excuse given by U.S. officials, which they relied on in justification of the bombing of Libya in 1986, is the right to self defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter. But that Article requires that the response be to an immediate threat to the retaliating party, clearly not the case, and therefore a legal fraud. AHH SNAP WAIT YOU MEAN CLINTON LIED AND PEOPLE DIED..No way.
1998 bombing of Afghanistan and the Sudan -Unknown numbers were killed in Afghanistan (and by the missiles that accidentally landed in Pakistan), and the pharmaceutical factory destroyed in the Sudan was the major source of medical drugs in that poor country. All evidence points to the fact that the Sudan factory destroyed had no connection whatever to chemical weapons or Bin Laden, and was bombed on the basis of insufficient and poorly evaluated data. ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME BAD AND POORLY EVALUATED DATA?? I THOUGHT ONLY GWB HAD THIS STUFF???
Clinton has given unstinting support to Turkey in its war against its indigenous Kurds. He has also escalated his aid to Colombia. In both of these countries the civilian casualties from counterinsurgency warfare and death squad operations during the Clinton years has exceeded the pre-NATO bombing deaths in Kosovo by a large factor. - NOTHING TO SEE HERE
Clinton's policy of sanctions on Iraq, supplemented by the maintenance of intense satellite surveillance and regular bombing attacks that have often resulted in civilian casualties. UNICEF reports that in 1999 more than 1 million Iraqi children under 5 were suffering from chronic malnutrition, and some 4,000-5,000 children are dying per month beyond normal death rates from the combination of malnutrition and disease. Death from disease was greatly increased by the shortage of potable water and medicines, that has led to a 20-fold increase in malaria (among other ailments). This vicious sanctions system, causing a creeping extermination of a people, has already caused more than a million excess deaths. HMMMMMMM..............
Let's not forget CLINTONS:
NATO-U. S. war against Yugoslavia was the gradual extension of targeting to civilian infrastructure and civilian facilities-therefore civilians who would be in houses, hospitals, schools, trains, factories, power stations, and broadcasting facilities. Two months after the war was over, the BBC "revealed" that the attack on Yugoslav television on April 23 was part of an escalation of NATO bombing whereby the target list was extended to non-military objectives; NATO was "taking off the gloves." According to Yugoslav authorities, 60 percent of NATO targets were civilian, including 33 hospitals and 344 schools, as well as 144 major industrial plants and a large petro-chemical plant whose bombing caused a pollution catastrophe. John Pilger noted that the list of civilian targets included "housing estates, hotels, libraries, youth centres, theatres, museums, churches and 14th century monasteries on the World Heritage list. Farms have been bombed and their crops set afire."
WAIT WEREN'T YOU WHINING ABOUT IRAQI ARTIFACTS LAST WEEK. I GUESS ONLY IRAQI ARTIFACTS MATTER TO LIBS?
This NATO targeting was in open violation of the laws of war, although this was certainly neither publicized nor condemned in the mainstream media..There can be little doubt that Yugoslavia finally agreed to a military exit from Kosovo mainly because they recognized that, although their forces had not been defeated on the battlefield, the NATO strategy of attacking civilian targets in violation of international law, was subject to no limits.
John and Karl Mueller contend that Clinton has killed more people that all the chemical and nuclear weapons throughout history..and have written extensively on this subject.
John Mueller is Professor of Political Science at the University of Rochester. Karl Mueller is Assistant Professor of Comparative Military Studies at the School of Advanced Airpower Studies at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama.
I am willing to bet Saunterelle comes back to say, this isn't about Clinton......
St. Anger maybe...
