Something's up with Bill Clinton.

[Enraged American]

Why did this guy call Larry King out of the blue while Bob Dole was on the show to say, "But the fact remains that there were stockpiles of weapons unaccounted for on the day I left office."

1. I trusted him then, I don't trust him now

[Caution]

2. Because anything clinton says must be a lie to repubs

So he's basically messing with their heads. They are trying desperately to believe the chimp in the face of all facts available and now Clinton says Bush* is telling the truth, giving freepers headaches everywhere as they try to figure out the paradox.

3. Cage ol' Bill :-)

9. Yeah, that's the ticket...

4. It is becoming...

apparent, at least to me, the almost ALL of THEM are in on "it". Don't forget, Clinton's been defending Blair like crazy too. Who's left to trust? What's that I hear? "No one"? I hope Dean can be trusted....

5. Same with Enron, eh?

Unaccounted is the key word. Of course Saddama Osama was hiding something... what he was hiding was the fact that he had left Iraq defenseless.

So SH had to keep alive the idea that Iraq had some form of weapons that would keep another country from invading and occupying Iraq.

Seems as if the * madministration figured out Iraq was defenseless. The evidence has shown that Iraq was defenseless, eh?

6. This is fairly straight forward I think, we wanted documented

evidence or physical proof that remaining chem/bio weapons were destroyed. I believe even Scott Ritter said they were 95% to 98% complete when they left.

Obtaining this evidence was one of the objectives of the UN inspectors last winter. It does not mean SH still had them, it means they hadn't yet proved that they didn't.

I didn't see the show so I'm only going by your comments above.

7. Clinton make point it was an accounting problem - not a fear of WMD case

I saw the call-in and my take away was not that he was giving cover to Bush but that he was explaining why - knowing of the accounting problem - he did not invade Iraq.

Indeed folks forget the intrusive inspection approach Clinton wanted - we all wanted - in lieu of war - was expected to destroy Saddam - as accepting it would show him to be "weak" - and that Bush stepped all over those talks and said he was going without any allies by March 19. - so the next 3 weeks went nowhere as far as intrusive inspections being approved by the UN.

8. Didn't we just learn it was because of an accounting problem?

Clinton didn't say Saddam had the weapons - just as they weren't accounted for. And he said this months before that report came out.

10. Because it's true???

Because Hillary said so in her speeches supporting the Iraq war, and if I'm not mistaken, the war itself.
