So far, 17 DUers said Bill Clinton did not side with Bush and cheerlead war with Iraq. [View All]

[blm]

Unfortunately, none of the 17 provided information that supported their vote that Clinton did NOT act as cheerleader on Bush's military positions on Iraq back in 2002, 2004 and 2006.

So, those who voted that Clinton did NOT support Bush on his military decisions, please help the rest of us with the information that INFORMED you that Clinton was NOT siding with Bush on his military decisions in a way that benefitted him.

IN CLINTON'S OWN WORDS:


Clinton defends successor's push for war
Says Bush 'couldn't responsibly ignore' chance Iraq had WMDs

(CNN) -- Former President Clinton has revealed that he continues to support President Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq but chastised the administration over the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison.

"I have repeatedly defended President Bush against the left on Iraq, even though I think he should have waited until the U.N. inspections were over," Clinton said in a Time magazine interview that will hit newsstands Monday, a day before the publication of his book "My Life."

Clinton, who was interviewed Thursday, said he did not believe that Bush went to war in Iraq over oil or for imperialist reasons but out of a genuine belief that large quantities of weapons of mass destruction remained unaccounted for.

Noting that Bush had to be "reeling" in the wake of the attacks of September 11, 2001, Clinton said Bush's first priority was to keep al Qaeda and other terrorist networks from obtaining "chemical and biological weapons or small amounts of fissile material."

"That's why I supported the Iraq thing. There was a lot of stuff unaccounted for," Clinton said in reference to Iraq and the fact that U.N. weapons inspectors left the country in 1998.
