Clinton slams foreign policy as war winds down

On Monday, Mr. Clinton went on the offensive. "Our paradigm now seems to be: Something terrible happened to us on September 11, and that gives us the right to interpret all future events in a way that everyone else in the world must agree with us. And if they don't, they can go straight to hell," he told a symposium sponsored by Conference Board, a New York-based nonpartisan business research group.

Someone might care to point out to these stupid women that they are voting against their own husband's paycheck. What morons.

[seamus]

Exactly. Aside from Clinton's outrageous statements, the University of Arkansas professor of "Clinton Watching" had some pretty choice words, too:

"Former presidents always keep their fingers on the pulse of these issues. And there is nothing they like better than articulating alternative arguments."

Excuse me? George H.W. Bush liked a lot of things better than articulating alternative arguments. Among them, showing class, biting his tongue, playing golf, remaining confident in his own legacy, actually taking care of his dogs so they don't get recklessly killed.....

"Of course, some presidents are more vocal than others," Mrs. Scranton added. "Both Carter and Clinton have been particularly outspoken after they left the White House."

Exactly. This presidential scholar can't even think of a single instance when a former Republican president publicly slammed the policies of the man who followed him. While Nixon was quite chatty in his later years as he was pushing his memoirs, even he did not even approach what could be called criticism of the subsequent presidents.

Frankly, I'd be surprised if Bill Clinton wasn't out speaking his mind."

That says it all. We expect Clinton to show no class.

[carton253]

I'm reading it now. I agree with you.

Clinton cared about nothing but Clinton. I'm half-way through... and it does make the blood pressure rise.

[Cedric]

Pray that Clinton becomes Secretary General Of The U.N. soon!

[YOMO]

Mr. Clinton went on the offensive. "Our paradigm now seems to be: Something terrible happened to us on September 11,
###########################################################

How insightful of him. With all his BS, deals, and travel I am supprised he noticed. He certianly didn't notice when he was in office.

and that gives us the right to interpret all future events in a way that everyone else in the world must agree with us. And if they don't, they can go straight to hell,"
###########################################################

He might have figured out that there is a new NO NONSENSE SHERIFF in town. As GWB clearly stated either you are with us or with the Terrorists.

If you got an interdependent world, and you cannot kill, jail or occupy all your adversaries, sooner or later you have to make a deal."
############################################################

Want to bet? If you kill, jail, or occupy, sooner or later the Crazies will learn that they are PI$$ING on the wrong shoes. As goofy as they are if they understand our resolve is stronger than their twisted motives terrorism will abate.

He also criticized White House treatment of France and Germany after both opposed U.S. military action in Iraq.
############################################################

A good question to ask himself would be: If France and Germany are not our strong, reliable Allies, than what are they? How should we treat them?

Mr. Clinton suggested that President Bush and his administration will spend too heavily on defense to the detriment of domestic issues.
###########################################################

Which is exactly how he managed to spend his way into the hearts of the Dems., by spending the Defense savings with the fall of the Commies in Europe on Domestic feel good give away programs.

Mr. Clinton said. "If you fight terrorism, you can't make America a better place to be."
############################################################

If you reduce or eliminate Terrorism in this country then is not AMERICA A BETTER PLACE TO BE?


But just four nights ago, Mr. Clinton was toeing the line like an elder statesman. "Mr. Bush has done the right thing in removing Saddam Hussein from power. They now have a fresh chance to do the right thing and rebuild Iraq,"
And in an April 3 speech at the University of Florida, Mr. Clinton weighed in on Iraq with hawklike tones. "We've got the power, we've got the juice. We should do the job."
############################################################

Once again he shows his true colors by doing a flip flop unless you consider he is still defining the meaning of the word IS.

Now that the war is essentially over, Mr. Clinton seems to have started his own debate.
###########################################################

The problem is that he is on both sides of his own debate.

According to an April 11 Pew Research poll, 42 percent of Democrats believe that using military force to remove a dictator is "rarely or never" the right thing to do. The figure was 16 percent for Republicans.
############################################################

There in may lay the problem. Presidents need to listen to their advisers more and the polls less. Presidents should do the right thing not necessarly the popular course. That is why they are elected.

"Both Carter and Clinton have been particularly outspoken after they left the White House.
############################################################

They certianly didn't have too much to say while they were in power. Too bad Clinton didn't use some of that MORAL FIBER that Carter seemed to have a lot of. Had Clinton displayed as much backbone as he showed contempt for the Public things may have gone better and possibly 9/11 not happened.

He would certainly get my vote (as long as the UN moved out when he moved in).

[Grampa Dave]

The leader of the Clintoonian Fedayeen Soddomites, the American Branch of the Ba athist Party opens his pie hole again.

He is just upset that if there is no UN, he will not get to be incharge of the UN pillaging villages/countries in the name of the Chilrun and for the Chilrun.

"Our paradigm now seems to be: Something terrible happened to us on September 11, and that gives us the right to interpret all future events in a way that everyone else in the world must agree with us. And if they don't, they can go straight to hell."

Evidently, Beelzebubba finds this problematic. Inasmuch as those individuals we've recently dispatched straight to hell have been richly deserving, it's difficult to see what the problem is. Unless Clinton suspects he'll be joining Saddam, Udai, et al. someday, although Clinton will likely meet his Maker via too many cheeseburgers or an overdose of blow rather than by the percussion of a bunker buster.

[tractorman]

What a frickin' moron is right.

On the other hand, he sure is helping the Democrat party to define themselves as they claim to have not done during the last election. What fools. They lost because they were, are and always will be defined as the liberal losers that they are.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

How did this jacka$$ ever become our president??

My in-laws.

[1Old Pro]

The shamelessness of this man is unexhaustible.

and inexcusable

[a_Turk]

>> "the world must agree with us. And if they don't, they can go straight to hell"

>> What's wrong with that?

You'll find out when it's China telling you..

[Zavien Doombringer]

You'll find out when it's China telling you...

Big deal, North Korea already did, look at them now. Cowering down

[kellynla]

Marine Bump. Klinton never learned "better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." Evidently there is absolutely no communication between wife and husband because every time he opens his mouth he is digging the hole deeper for Hitlery and thankfully diminishing her chances of a presidential candidacy in '08. Educated fools and useful idiots. I am constantly amazed how these people ever graduated high school much less college. Semper Fi

[texasbluebell]

The lifestyle is really catching up with this guy...

Too bad there's no wisdom to go with that gray hair.

[SoDak]

I guess I'm not surprised by this. One thing has been constant throughout the 'toon's life, he hates America, hates it's decency, and will not hesitate to sell it out. Billy Jeff is all about Billy Jeff. It's still breathtakingly offensive that he ever was according time in the Whitehouse. They must still be fumigating the place. He's like a stench that won't go away for a few years yet that keeps popping up when we aren't prepared for the odor. This also points again at just how seriously we need to guard against any campaign that the Hildabeast mounts. This country can NOT handle another term from this odious family.

[LuisBasco]

Go to hell, Beelzelbubba!

What this nation needs is more of this fat-faced, marxist, coke snorting, rapist, imbecilic, narcissistic, masturbating embarrassment! Perhaps then the simpletons who vote for this kind of offal will have their stomachs full.

This SOB has more money stuffed in his pockets than he ever made as goobernor of Arkancide. His nominal wifey, HRH Hitlery von Rotten Klintoon has hit the jackpot as well thanks to the eager voters who continue to support this filth.

And then there's the puffy-faced, fatso that played the blues on his steamer meat whistle now filling her bloomers with bucks earned from her new television show.

What a freaking mess!

And this bozo critizes current foreign policy?

[militant2]

Who the hell cares what this maggot thinks...it's time for him to ES&D. Militant

[Eye4nEye]

Gee, I wonder why Clintoon would be speaking at a symposium sponsored by the Conference Board; the group responsible for generating the Consumer Confidence Index?
