Clinton talked all about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction all through his presidency.
"Clinton talked all about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction all through his presidency."

Which is why I included some of his quotes.

He signed the bill for "Regime Change" and was too chicken to follow up on it. Which is WHY we had a 9-11. All talk and NO action!

"but you still ignored the fact that Bush invaded Iraq not Clinton,"
Didn't "ignore " it all.

I said "he could not have invaded ......". Which as we all KNOW means he DID invade, WITH the authority from Congress.

I think you need a a reading comprehension refresher course.

"but thanks for the update on the senate vote" You are welcome.

"to give authorization of funding which I already new along with people critical of SH."

Which MANY DEMS IGNORE.

"Still Bush chose to invade Iraq because of WMD or this never would have happened."

Did you NOT read ALL the quotes from the DEM politicians to include clinton on the WMDs Irag had?

Again, WITHOUT the authority from Congress, RUN BY THE DEMS, W could NOT have been able to invade

I ACCEPT what W did. Way too many dems IGNORE what THEIR politicians did and the role THEY played.

You keep wanting blame W ONLY. and IGNORE the role the dems played. It was a JOINT effort. Your bias is showing.

The again, dems seldom take responsibility for their OWN actions and non-actions! And you area PERFECT example!

"Both times were a fail. Bush1 failed to do the job"

And what did clintion do between the 2 Bush's?

" Bush 2 went in and took the hunt off of OBL"

W Bush did NOT stop looking.

It was HIS program and people who eventually FOUND OBL.

You really need to widen your "news" sources"!

"Trillions blown for nothing many of our peeps killed."

Did you complain when clinton signed trh bill for "Regime Change in Iraq"?

Did you complain when a DEM controlled Congress voted to authorize the invasion of Iraq AND the money to do so?

Did you complain when the dems made all their claims that there WERE WMDs in Iraq?

Just curios.

Being a "Monday morning quarterback" is EASY!

A 5 year lifetime limit on benefits seems very reasonable. I assume we don't have such laws in place anymore given my people I know were on section 8 for 8 years and still receive food stamps 15 years later?
"He did things like pass welfare to work laws,"

Only because Newt Gingrich took over as the House Majority Leader when the dems lost control of the House, which they had controlled for 40 STRAIGHT YEARS.

I know details, details details!

He opened eyes and red pilled a lot of people, that he was just a puppet to the deepstate
Enough to get GW. in there over Gore.

Then GW, was just a puppet for the deepstate too, like Clinton
Same with Obama

Trump exposed the evil that really controls the world

No secret now with puppet Biden & the deepstate in bed and they don't hide it and if they try, it is exposed quickly.

Once Gingrich took over in 1994, Bubba as Newt's puppet was a much better POTUS.

The big things I recall about the Clinton administration:
1) - NAFTA
2) - Loosened underwriting standards for mortgages, eventually causing the 2005 meltdown
3) + Drastically reducing the number of people on welfare
4) - Drastically increasing the number of people on SSDI
5) + Eventually learned to reach across the aisle and create bi-partisan solutions
6) - Monica Lewinski - For some reason, feminists defended his workplace sexual harassment
7) + Didn't actively run around fostering hate and divisiveness like current Dems


I really despised Clinton at the time, but have to come to have a more moderate view of him these days, probably because compared to the dumpster fire that was the Obama administration and the current Biden debacle, he seems benign by comparison. I'd say he was slightly worse than Trump, simply because he was a key contributor to some really damaging economic policy. Probably on par with Bush, overall.

I'll take Clinton over Biden any day of the week.
