Bill Clinton Remembers the Past and Imagines the Future

"Those who have questioned the United States in this moment, I would argue, are living only in the moment. They have neither remembered the past nor imagined the future. So first, let's just take a step back and consider why meeting the threat posed by Saddam Hussein is important to our security in the new era we are entering."

Brilliant. I've been looking for this clip.

So Saddam's WMD did exist and he did pose a threat? An "Unholy axis??" Man, where have I heard that before?

Jeez, is someone ever going to apologize to W for all that Bush Lied People Died crap?

This entire text to this video is available at google: Text Of Clinton statement February 17, 1998

Copy and print it out and read these quotes to your Bush hating friends and relatives... simply ask them who said the following, and quote from the text.

Thanks! pitythefool

no no, the word that was in question was "is" ;)

besides, dont forget, Bush totally ignored the word terror for the first months of his term, and then 9/11. Both have responsability, but dont forget it was Clinton who launced missles at Bin Laden first. That was about the only thing he could do, as the GOP would have had his head if he did more because they were to buisy trying to remove him for getting a blowjob.

clinton is a better bullshitter. if clinton responded the same way to 911 (and more than likely it would have been the same) democrats wouldn't be saying shit. where was the outcry for iraqis during the sanctions that fucked over way more people. i know people are hopeful over hilary and obama but they represent the same ol shit.  they have the same ol people backing them that have been in gov't for years. (that should be the first sign right there)

Maybe if Clinton had done something about it then we wouldn't have a problem now. just like 9/11 - he ignored terrorism until we lost 3,000 souls. Now all democrats blame it on Bush.

This was the man responsible right here. The man who couldn't define the word sex.

Thank you so much for posting all these videos of Clinton, Gore @ Iraq--i've been dying to see these turn up on here. I've been looking all over for videos of these speeches and vids of Operation Desert Fox--very hard to come by on the 'net that Gore invented. I remember watching all this when it happened, but i've wanted to find these with all the Bush Lied crap. This is the kind of thing Bill and Hillz and Dems hoped wouldnt turn up.
