Did anyone watch Jim Lehrer News Hour tonight?

[0007]

There was a PBS news message after the news hour. That junior had nothing to say about Paul O'Neill, and he only followed the Clinton administration on invading Iraq. End of message. "WTF" did I hear right?

1. I have always said, (I know I new to this forum) Bush will find a way to

blame Clinton for anything that goes wrong.

2. Followed the Clinton administration on Iraq?

I don't remember Bill Clinton invading Iraq, do you? BTW, since when does the Bush administration follow the Clinton line on anything? WTF is right.

3. I'm sure Tom Tomorrow is preparing a treat as we type.

8. Well why didn't they follow the Clinton Administration on Al-Quaeda

Why then didn't they follow the Clinton Administration on anti-terrorism, "rolling up Al-Quaeda", and all that stuff?

4. So you're saying that they made an announcement AFTER the news?

Was it during the newshour or after? Who announced it?

5. I saw Madeline Albright on Charlie Rose last week and here is what she

said. She said they called for a regime change in 1998 but it didn't have anything to do with pre-emptive war. IF and she meant IF they were going to persue the idea they would want the Iraqi people to rise against Saddam with the assistance of the international community. She stated that what * has done is made the region so unstable that it does in fact threaten the security of the United States. She said the jury is still out regarding the future of Iraq.

I expect to see more of her on television defending and explaining clearly the Clinton policy on Iraq regime change. It didn't sound anything like what * did to Iraq.

9. I wish we would hear from Clinton

on this. He really needs to speak up, in my opinion.

6. Bush...said...he...was...only...following......

THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION ON INVADING IRAQ!!!!!!! LOL!!!!

Now I've heard everything. :)

7. Did he claim to follow Clinton on "invading" Iraq. . .

or in believing that Saddam had unconventional weapons?

I've heard many -- both within BushCo and among the presstitutes -- claim Clinton-era support for their current actions, or rather, claim that the Clinton Administration also believed Saddam had proscribed weapons. Of course, this may be true, and my understanding is Clinton himself has recently given credence to this belief. What differentiates Clinton from Bush, however, is that though Clinton may have believed Saddam had such weapons, he didn't act against International Law to pursue their removal, nor did he alienate the U.S. from the comity of nations in a misguided, fruitless & pointless act of aggression.

10. The Clinton blame game will not hunt.

Clinton's plans were what PNACers sent him. It was not his plan.
Yes, Saddam was seen as a bad person and a regime change was favored but no where were there plans for an invasion except in the PNAC files.
