There wouldn't have been a war in Iraq. Clinton knew how to listen to other people. I think, I'm not 100% sure, that he would have still sent troops into Afghanistan but he wouldn't have gone to Iraq.

If any of you think that Clinton would have done nothing, you're wrong. He bombed Osama bin Laden, but missed and went after the bombers of the Cole, many of which were caught. He went after the bombers of the first WTC bombing and they are now either dead or in prison because Clinton went after them. If Clinton were president during 9-11, he certainly wouldn't have waited 20 minutes while he read "My Pet Goat". That is the most difficult book Bush has read in 10 years. Clinton would have immediately gone after Osama and chased him until he brought him back dead or alive. Bush started after him in Afghanistan, but then went after a country that posed no threat to us. If Bush were president during WWII, he would have attacked Mexico after Pearl Harbor. Saddam was no threat because he was contained and under sanctions. Bush went after Iraq because of oil and the fact that Saddam wanted to trade for oil in Euro dollars and not US dollars. Besides, Osama was a close personal friend and business associate of the Bush family. Bush senior was actually watching it happen on TV on 9-11, while having breakfast with another of Osama's family members. Just imagine what the world would be like if Clinton had been president and killed or captured Osama. The Iraq war would never have started and we would not have given up over 3150 US troops lives. More troops have been killed than in 9-11.
Clinton made a mistake with Monica, but it didn't affect his job and he did a great job managing the country. Under Bush, we now have tax cuts for the wealthy and tax increases for the poor and middle class, we're in debt by $32,000 per person, military commissions act destroyed provisions of the Constitution, cronyism is rampant, corruption in the republican congress, illegal wiretapping without FISA court approval (against the Constitution), growing poverty (47 million have none), government sponsored torture (against the Geneva conventions), lax environmental laws creating more polution, killing more people and increasing the rate of global warming, gas gouging, declining world image, promoting war profiteering, + more and more and more, etc. Clinton was great for this country. I wish he could run again!

If Bill Clinton were President , we would not even have our servicemen and women in Iraq. Mr. Clinton is a very intelligent man and, in my opinion, the best president since Franklin D. Roosevelt. However, I will say that if President Kennedy had not been killed, he would have been a great president.

Clinton would have never invaded in the first place, so the war with Iraq would have been a non-issue.

I think if Clinton was president, we wouldn't have gotten in the war in the first place. And if he were president now, he'd be actively involved in doing whatever it took diplomatically to get us out. he'd be working with Iraq's neighbors to see that they were involved in the epace process and solving the problems of the area.

There would have never been a war in Iraq. If there was any war at all it would have stayed in Afghanistan and Osama would have been brought to justice long ago. I believe he would have listened to the warnings about 9/11 and perhaps acted on them before the twin towers fell. Too bad we will never know.

Clinton was a diplomat and actually had qualified advisors, Bush on the other hand is stubborn and arrogant with parrots for advisors, with Dick Cheney leading him by the hand, no wonder Colin Powell finally said enough, incompetence manifest for the whole world to see. End this debacle and farce now.

If Clinton were Pres. now we would not be in Iraq we would still be negotiating with terrorists and he would still be having his cigar smoked by another intern.
Clinton was a piss poor pres. and should never have his name mentioned again. As for his wife willary (Yes I spelled it right) she is not the person to run this country and never will be, she couldn't even figure out the health care issues and has too many skeletons in her closet. she is still a bitchy woman and you can't change that. she just like her husband would say anything that's popular just to get their name back in the spotlight.

There wouldn't be a war, Clinton avoided this at all costs. I don't even think there would have been a 9/11 do you? there could have been, but nothing happened like this during the Cinton era.

I think he would pull all the troops out and bring them home. After that he would give our country away to the highest bidder. As he is a draft dodger, thief, whoremonger and a bigot, there is no way this country could continue as a democracy. I would think more of him and his wife if they would return all the stolen items they removed from the White House and Air Force One to us, the citizens. The Clintons would surely give the terrorist plenty of leeway by surrendering i Iraq.
