WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former President Clinton praised the capture of Saddam Hussein and said the ousted Iraqi president finally will answer "for decades of tyranny and murder." "I am glad he was captured alive so he can be brought before the bar of justice," Clinton said Sunday in a statement. Clinton saluted U.S. troops, who found the bearded and disheveled former dictator in an underground hide-out on a farm near his hometown, Tikrit. Clinton also congratulated his successor in the White House. "Saddam Hussein's capture is a tribute to the skill and bravery of our troops and the good...

I received the strangest letter the other day from James Carville, Bill Clinton's old attack dog and political strategist. Here's what it said: "Dear Friend, [t]hroughout the eight years of his presidency, you've been one of President Clinton's most loyal supporters. And I had the honor of helping to elect the man twice. So we have much to be proud of." The letter goes on to ask me to affirm the following statement: "I'm proud to have supported Bill Clinton during the eight years of his presidency and deeply appreciate what he accomplished for America and the world. Now, I...

Book Bombshell: Iraq Attack Scrubbed for Clinton Golf Game Ex-President Bill Clinton kept a squadron of F-117 stealth fighter-bombers and B-52s waiting to launch a critical 1996 air strike on Iraq while he finished watching a golf tournament - dithering so long that U.S. pilots lost the cover of darkness and the mission had to be scrubbed. That's the explosive charge leveled in a brand new book by Lt. Col. Robert Patterson, a key Clinton military aide from 1996 through 1998 whose primary mission was to carry the president's copy of America's nuclear launch codes. "We dispatched eight F-117 stealth...

New York (AP) - Former President Clinton, in his first televised mini- debate with Republican Bob Dole on Sunday, said that a tax cut at a time that war is looming in Iraq is "bad economics." Dole, Clinton's opponent in the 1996 presidential election, said the Bush administration has launched a global war to protect the American way of life, "which means, among other things, the freedom to save or invest our own money." The retired politicians have agreed to revive the "Point-Counterpoint" segment on "60 Minutes," television's most popular newsmagazine. In the two-minute debate, the two will face off...

The Atlantic Monthly shocks readers with its cover this month: A sculpted Bill Clinton with the headline "Post-President for Life." Two lengthy articles follow: a far too deferential account of what he's been up to and what he might try to accomplish by James Fallows, and a devastatingly accurate assessment of the vulgar appeal and carnival-like progress of the man George Will aptly branded the "worst man ever to be president," by P.J. O'Rourke. Clinton is of course again running for the White House, and Fallows' refusal to analyze his every move in light of Hillary's expected run in 2008...

It looks like ex-President Bill Clinton has his own Axis of Evil, although the threats he warned about yesterday have nothing to do with terrorism. "(The Republicans) have a much better media machine than we do," Clinton insisted to "Today" show host Katie Couric, before naming, "Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity," who he said "are very outspoken, and are on the right wing of the Republican Party." Other cogs in the GOP's "media machine," according to the ex-president, include the Heritage Foundation and "sympathetic newspapers and sympathetic cable programs that are heavily weighted in their favor." "There...

<p>An hour with Larry, a night with Mick — even moments with Mikhail and Sergei: Former President Clinton has had a full dance card this week.</p> <p>Thursday night, Mr. Clinton spent an hour with CNN's Larry King, talking over terrorism, the Space Shuttle Columbia, an encounter with former Vice President Al Gore, his daughter's new boyfriend, tax cuts, his memoirs, his charitable work, his tendency to be a "pack rat" and the recent travails of former Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott.</p>

Was poking around DU a few minutes ago and came across this (coloring mine): Tonight Thursday, February 06, 2003 Exclusive: Former President Bill Clinton joins Larry live for the hour. (LOL, should be some interesting posts here on FR tomorrow.)

Hillary Clinton ordered Bill to undergo psychological counseling for sex addiction after learning he indulged in a secret orgy with gorgeous young models! The bombshell disclosure about the orgy was turned up by a private detective hired by Hillary -- who's eyeing a run at the White House -- to dig up information about Bill's extramarital affairs. The issue that goes on sale Friday reveals the inside details of Bill's sex romp with the models, tells why news of the orgy forced Hillary to act, why Bill agreed to go into therapy … and much more.

Clinton is eager to tell his story Says writing memoirs is a way to 'come to terms' By Bob Minzesheimer USA TODAY Bill Clinton, who's getting nearly $12 million for his memoirs, says everyone eventually should write his or her life story. ''Everybody talks about how terrible this book-writing is. I've enjoyed it,'' the former president tells C-SPAN in an interview to be shown Sunday (6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. ET/ 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. PT). ''Everyone who is fortunate enough to have lived to be 50 should sit down at some point and write the story of his...

"Dedicated to presenting the TRUE Clinton Legacy" Mission Statement: The $200 Million official Clinton Presidential Center and Library is being built on the banks of the Arkansas River in Little Rock, Arkansas. Many believe that it will actually be a "LIE-brary" - a highly scripted version of the Clinton administration - an extravagant monument to corruption. * The "Counter Clinton Library" is necessary to refute the many spins and lies that will be the theme of the "official" Clinton library. * Thus, the official Clinton Presidential Center and Library - funded by taxpayer dollars and by huge donations by rich...

Ex-President Bill Clinton, who collected FBI files on political opponents, targeted witnesses against him with IRS audits and hired private detectives to intimidate his ex-girlfriends, complained Tuesday that the Republican Party had a political "destruction machine." "They have a destruction machine. We don't have a destruction machine," Clinton told the Democratic Leadership Council in an address at New York University. The ex-president charged that "extreme right-wing elements in the media" were responsible for smearing Democrats on national security issues, saying he was particularly dismayed by attacks on Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle. "What was done to Tom Daschle was...

Impeached president, and certified liar Bill Clinton was interviewed on the Mitch Albom show yesterday afternoon (11/9/02). The affable rapist spun the following yarn (approximately) during the BS session. "Newt Gingrich once told me, ‘I’m sorry we have to be so mean to you, but if we ran on the issues, we’d never win,’” quoth Clinton. This reminded me of the "Patsy Mink Memorials" the Perjurer-In-Chief attended on our various islands October 30, wherein he was instrumental in getting our first Republican Governor elected. During the course of his speechifying, he made the following incredible statement, "Newt Gingrich once told...

On the anniversary of the attacks in New York and Washington, former US President Bill Clinton says we can only counter the threat of terrorism by reparing the widening rift between the haves and the have-nots of our planet The central reality of the twenty-first century world, as the spread of terrorism and the vulnerability of the United States to it demonstrate, is that our era is globally interdependent but far from integrated. We learned on 11 September that the very forces of globalisation we helped to create - open borders and commerce, easy travel, instant communications, instant transfers and...

Tony Blair and George Bush today face mounting opposition to the war on Iraq from both sides of the Atlantic. In Britain, a survey of Labour MPs showed almost zero backing for military attacks on Saddam Hussein's regime. And in the States, former president Bill Clinton led a growing chorus of demands to postpone action until Osama bin Laden, the terrorist godfather thought to be behind the 11 September atrocities, is caught. In another blow, the head of the intelligence committee in Congress, Bob Graham, also called for war to be postponed until Afghanistan was dealt with. Mr Blair, who...
