"Saddam is gone and good riddance," former President Bill Clinton said yesterday, but he urged President Bush to resist trying to get even with nations that opposed the war.

"There are German and French soldiers in Afghanistan today. Does the President want them to come home?" Clinton said at a Manhattan forum on corporate integrity.

He praised Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for their handling of the war, but said Bush should have waited longer before attacking for the "chance that either [Saddam Hussein] would have disarmed or ... we would have had far more members of the Security Council with us."

Clinton also said Bush should not be faulted if banned weapons of mass destruction aren't found.

"I don't think you can criticize the President for trying to act on the belief that they have a substantial amount of chemical and biological stock. ... That is what I was always told," Clinton said.

Yep, President Bush should have waited for another 12 years, just like clinton did.

That's what's called "damning with faint praise".

Shut up, Billy Boy. You're worse than useless.

[kcvl]

Every time this creep opens his mouth, I would like to shove a pile of **** down his throat! He and Hillary both should just SHUT UP. They do nothing but remind us of how bad it was for eight long years. GOOD RIDDANCE!

Oh yes, Im sure W needs advice from the First Philanderer...

Clinton said at a Manhattan forum on corporate integrity.

Impeached, disbarred, disgraced, and he gets invited to speak at a forum on corporate integrity? Too much.

The Toons' are Clear And Present Dangers!

"Clinton said at a Manhattan forum on corporate integrity."

They should feel a true sense of bonding....the rapist and liar breaking bread with a room full of the most notorious thieves and liars in the united States of America.

"...corporate integrity....." a clear example of a dichotomy in meaning; a twenty-first century daylight rape of the English language.

Certainly, the rapist-in-chief was amongst his own.

What does it take? When will slick Willie stop talking? When will the media remember that ex-Presidents are supposed to retire and keep their noses OUT of the current President's business?

This is getting insane!!! No Republican ex-president has made ANYTHING like the commentaries that Jimbo And Bubba have made recently.

[A CA Guy]

Who gives an F what he thinks or says. Outside of suggesting which interns could give the best blow jobs, what the heck else is that ex-President good for?

[BigLittle]

Can anyone come up with the sponsors of the "forum on corporate integrity", to FReep them?

[jporcus]

Hey everybody: it's GOOD that Clintone keeps talking! He will continue to be a constant reminder to the public that HE TOTALLY EMBODIES what the Dems are all about. Remember what Carter did for us? We milked that for 12 years. I hope Clinton shows his face all the time.

But Bill wouldn't have done it and the country understands this. He would habe made a couple of speeches, made a few phones calls and then sulked back into the White House study for another BJ from Monica while deluding himself with the thought that he "did everything he could do".

Some people are great. Others have greatness thrust upon them. Bill was neither.

[RichInOC]

Bubba speaking at a corporate-ethics conference...now that's entertainment.

I am happy our troops defeated Saddam but I was ten times happier to see Clinton leave office without us firing a shot. I truly expected him to start another civil war to hold onto power as long as he could.

I don't think there's much difference between Saddam and Clinton except that Saddam was more skilled at rigging elections. Given unlimited control and the amen corner of the liberal koolaid-drinking media, I don't doubt Clinton would have eventually moved on to detaining dissidents, torture chambers, secret police, gassing communities that stood opposed to his will, raping young girls and muzzling any outlet for opposition. Tyrants always do. When you look at such things as Waco, Juanita Broaddrick, the stolen FBI files, tax auditing political opponents and consorting with nations like Cuba, China, Vietnam and North Korea, the warning signs were all there. We were just too strong as a nation to succumb the way Iraq did to Saddam.

Clinton has a difficult time knowing what to do with himself now because most of his heroes never relinguished power until death.

"There are German and French soldiers in Afghanistan today. Does the President want them to come home?"

Glad you asked, Sinkmaster.

Yes, I want them to go home. We don't need them.

[JZoback]

I'll give Clinton credit for one thing.

He has got to have the biggest set of gonads ever to walk the planet.

The crap that comes out of his mouth is amazing.

He gives a whole new meaning to the word "Chutzpah"

[Bonaparte]

Psycopaths are known for that.

[djf]

He's just greasin up George Dubya. Next time Hill smacks Bill upside the head, Bill will have George call in the Marines.

Make Shock and Awe look like a gentle summer day, and she makes Saddamn look like a boy scout!
