Is lying about having sex as serious as lying about WMD's and the entire progress of the Iraqi war?

Question

Please read this answer to a question regarding the lies told by the white house:

"oh, by the way......at least Clinton was being TOTALLY honest with the people when he stated 'on camera'......."I did not have sex with that woman"...........RIGHT???????"

All Clinton did was ruin a blue dress. The Bush administrtion is responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of innocents. Do the two offenses actually compare?

Answer 1

It's moral hypocrisy for the republicans. They'll do anything and everything to have it their way, much like anything that contradicts the conservative christian ideology. I think they're very much like the terrorists we are fighting. Each group, Islamist and Christian, wants it their way or it's no deal, which is why we must defeat both religious extremists. They are both very much the same.

Answer 2

Thats the problem of knowing less true information. All they know and think about having sex. And when, by chance they hear about war performing by thier own country they simply support their country without knowing right or wrong and compare it with subject like sex which they know the best.
I would not wonder if anyone says that Clinton was only successful to show the world US's flirting image, but Bush is successful to bring the oil, make a sub-US country in Afganistan, Iraq. After all, they are not in position to discuss the subject like war, killing people, grabbing land, using illegal weapons, perform illegal war. They are too busy with their own life. Who cares if 41 thousand people died in Iraq, it is fine as long as President say "We are fighting for peace". After all, by "peace", president meant US peace at the cost of Middle East. So, Dont worry, be happy, have fun, have sex.Money, resources will come. President will make sure of it.

Answer 3

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- From the Oval Office, President Clinton told the nation Wednesday evening why he ordered new military strikes against Iraq.

The president said Iraq's refusal to cooperate with U.N. weapons inspectors presented a threat to the entire world.

"Saddam (Hussein) must not be allowed to threaten his
neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons," Clinton said.


Ok does this mean Clinton now lied twice ?

Answer 4

Your question is like asking "so, how often do you beat your wife?" instead of whether or not you beat her. I do not agree with your statement that the Bush administration lied about WMDs or that it is reponsible for the deaths of "tens of thousands of innocents." On the other hand, Clinton did lie. That is the only lie in your original statement.

Answer 5

Republicans were so obsessed about the sex life of the president in the last two years of the Clinton administration, that they forgot about security until the attacks of 9-11, 2001,,, it would seem that they still are today.

Answer 6

Having sex with some intern, and cheating on his wife and LYING to the American people is far worse. Do NOT compare apples to oranges!!!

Answer 7

Clinton degraded the integrity of the US government, no matter witch sides of politics you support!

Answer 8

I cannot tell a lie / at some point young or old everyone has lied about something to someone no matter how big or small .

Answer 9

Who f*cking cares anymore...Iran's gonna blow your city to smitherines soon. If not them...then N. Korea....we are so f*cked either way you slice it buddy.

It's not about sex you @$$ backwards retard! It's about breech of security...ANYONE could have been down there...whether it be a fat intern, or 10 skinny Arab men....ANYONE! So if you still think it's about sex...you are just proving how f*cking stupid you are.

Answer 10

You would think one would obviously be nothing compared to the other, but the blind masses will argue their ill fated point to no avail. Good luck.
