Bill Clinton - Iraq Invasion Was A Big Mistake
And now for more from the original Monday Morning Quarterback / Attention Whore...The United States made a "big mistake" when it invaded Iraq, former President Bill Clinton said Wednesday, citing the lack of planning for what would happen after dictator Saddam Hussein was overthrown. "Saddam is gone. It's a good thing, but I don't agree with what was done, " Clinton told students at the American University of Dubai. So getting rid of Saddam is a good thing, but it was bad that we did it? And this guy was president for eight years with that kind of logic circuit? "It was a big mistake. The American government made several errors ... one of which is how easy it would be to get rid of Saddam and how hard it would be to unite the country." Um, Bill, for the record, it did turn out to be fairly easy to defeat the Iraqi Army and Saddam would've been found earlier if he wasn't hiding in a freakin' hole in the ground. Also, I don't recall anything by the Bush administration saying that unifying the country was a primary goal. Clinton did however say that the United States had done some good things in Iraq: the removal of Saddam, the ratification of a new constitution, and the holding of parliamentary elections. All ego, no class, and no clue... Posted by: Raj 2005-11-16 |
