Clinton Swore that Saddam had WMDs. And, Clinton Had No Idea NKorea Was Building Nukes?

Question

... because Kim was nice enough to sign an agreement with Willie and Kim would NEVER cheat on an agreement.

Are these reasons that a person should rank Clinton as a great president?

As for me, I trusted everything Bill Cilnton (and Hillary) said.

Answer 1

Bill Clinton was one of the worst presidents (in my opinion). He remained idol when he should have acted and acted when he should have remained idol. He attacked Bosnia without UN or French consent and some how people think this was ok, but attacking Iraq without UN and French consent was bad. He band the us of certain inert land mines, causing defending American troops to have to suffer the full brunt of enemy assaults, he cut military funding, didn't act when the Sudan offered Osama's head on a platter not once, NOT twice but on three separate occasions. The list of screw ups Clinton made in the White House is endless. Sure those are good reasons considering his "better" half I don't blame him for the hole Lewinsky thing.

A point was made to me recently that pretty much nulified arguments suggesting the presents or lack of WMDs in Iraq. "Wheather or not he had them and disposed of them or didn't have them at all, will be debated for years, but whats obvious is, Saddam WANTED the world to believe he did have them".

Answer 2

Ronald Reagan gave Saddam WMD's and other technologies and money to finance Saddam's war against Iran.

North Korea is developing nuclear weapons through intelligence and supplies from Russia.

Iran is developing nuclear weapons through intelligence and supplies from China.

Who's the threat?

We are smiling at Russia and China while they supply and aid our enemies!!!!

Don't you see the hypocrisy in that?

All for the all mighty dollar!!

Here's an idea ........why don't we just destroy every nation on earth that isn't the US and be done with it!!!!

Honestly.......diplomacy HAS TO BE the better way to accomplish compliance!!

Even if diplomacy actually turns out to be bribery I don't care as long as people comply!

We cannot afford to wage war everytime we feel like it!

Answer 3

Guess I gotta say this YET AGAIN. The US has known for a couple decades Hussein had chemical weapons. Reagan and Bush Sr (as VP) GAVE Hussein the means to develop Chem weapons (1. because he was considered an "Ally" by Reagan against the Ayatollah in Iran. and 2. because he sold us cheap oil)

When Clinton made speeches during his Presidency about WMDs in Iraq, which include Nuclear, Chemical and Biological weapons, he mentioned Nuclear only in the sense that WMDs INCLUDE nuclear weapons, he never said Hussein HAD Nuclear weapons as George W Bush repeatedly (and falsely) claimed.

And as far as North Korea goes, thats a dead issue. China has done what Bush Jr was completely incapable of: DIPLOMATIC SOLUTIONS.

But maybe you should read this link so you know WHY North Korea walked away from the Nuclear Nonproliferation treaties in 2002 (WHILE BUSH IS PRESIDENT, NOT CLINTON).

Answer 4

Oh yes, Clinton was so very believable! I still believe that he didn't have sex with that woman!...lol. It is truly sad how influential the media is on the general public. If they wanted to make Brittany Spears the president... It could be done! No, there really are not any reasons to rank him as great, the media will tell us that he is... and we(general public) will believe them! He was not a bad president, but in reality, he really did not accomplish anything great.

Answer 5

It is funny when someone like Bert says We gave them the means to make the weapons.
Sort of like-- The US gave all those weapons to the Soviets when we are allied with them in WW2 and then we bitcched and complained throughout the cold war. We are just so full of it. and What happens if in 30 years we are in a war against Japan Bert will say well we helped them with computer technology and bought their cars we should have known better. Monday morning Quarterbacks are not uncommon but the "20 Years later" Quarterbacks are quite sad.

Saddass Had all the money and all the desire to get nukes and as we seen with the other toys he was willing to play with them. sorry for our lib friends but for me I am glad he is dead.

Bertles The USA was shipping tons of wepons and Supplies to the Russians for years during WW2. In Korea we found russian made tanks STILL using the Packard engines we shipped in ww2. If you read this through you will see I did Not compare Nissan cars the NUKES. I was pointing out that 20 or 30 years after the fact you cannot claim that we are at fault for supporting someone that went bad. I recall we supported Fidel as well and were quite fond of Benidict Arnold early on. I will try to find a few school children to explain your "school yard bully " story to me.

Lend-Lease was a way to send aid to allies without having to demand payment. After all, England only had so many island worthy of creating into bases that they could lease to us in exchange for warships. Eventually becomes $50 billion dollars in lend-lease during the war to many countries: 60% to UK, 20% USSR, 20% France, China, others.

We also had trains running non stop through India with loads of stuff during the war as well. Guess UR right Bert I don't know sh it.
And GW NEVER SAID they HAD nukes only that he had the desire to get them and May have them
"He May Have Bio And Chem Agents On Hand, And Nukes In Works ... In the speech, Mr. Bush said"

Answer 6

They knew but Bill had better things to do And is ranking (in truth) is low. He ranks down there with Carter

Answer 7

There are some "people" who utter vows whenever they find it suitable. Whenever Hitler's demands were met, he used to vow it was "his last demand", and that there would "never be more demands".
