Former President Bill Clinton has told Florida Democrats that the U.S. should not withdraw from Iraq until the political situation there is stabilized.

"The representative government in Iraq is a hopeful sign,” Clinton said at a fundraiser for the Florida Democratic party in Orlando on Monday.

"But we need to stay there long enough for the politics to get worked out. If we withdrew tomorrow, that government couldn’t survive.”

Clinton said he opposed the original decision to invade Iraq before military operations in Afghanistan were completed, but warned that more terrorists could emerge from Iraq without a U.S. military presence there.

Democrats at the event gave his position on Iraq a lukewarm reception, Florida Today reports. Clinton didn’t mention his wife Hillary’s political future.

I wonder what Komrade Kerry will have to say...

Sounds like his wife put her foot down and gave him a script.

Well, the Clintons have both sides of this debate covered! No surprise.

Former President Bill Clinton has told Florida Democrats that the U.S. should not withdraw from Iraq until the political situation there is stabilized.

He does, however, support giving the insurgents a reacharound, just as a matter of common courtesy.

The Dems, pushed by moveon.org and the Kos Kiddies, have moved so far to the left even Bill Clinton looks sensible these days.

I can't tell you how important Bill Clinton's opinion is to me!

...no, really, I can't tell you.

What other advice would you expect from the "sinkmaster" than pullout.

[babydoll22]

Exactly how he wants it to be. All part of the plan.

I thought the US presence in Iraq was causing Global Warming which in turn was causing Hurricanes which in turn was disenfranchising black people.

One would think that the First Black President would be more sensitive to this sort of thing.

Even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then.

Clinton said he opposed the original decision to invade Iraq before military operations in Afghanistan were completed, but...

This guy just never stops.

How does he nauseate me?

Let me count the ways.

[Carl LaFong]

.........nah...it's too easy

[bad company]

I can't tell you how important Bill Clinton's opinion is to me!

They can't measure things that small.

[IncPen]

When is he going to call for his wife to pull out of politics?

[EQAndyBuzz]

Sounds like that giant sucking sound.

It's the new Eureka Vacuum BHC... Clinton Technology... it is rumored it's so powerful it creates its own black hole!
