No, you do not have it right.
You forgot: Gross violation of Federal Regulations regarding quid pro quo sexual harassment of subordinates. Perjury.
You also forgot: "Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.
Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout the Middle East and around the world.
Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons.
The international community had little doubt then, and I have no doubt today, that left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will use these terrible weapons again. "
President Bill Clinton, Wednesday, December 16, 1998"
So your accusation of "lying about motives" is a lie on your part.

Bush didn't lie to get us into this war. The Dems all thru the 90s wanted Saddam tossed out of power, they even passed a resolution making it matter of National policy. And when the time came they voted to use military force against Saddam. At no time did Bush have to lie, he was obeying a policy the Dems had previously agreed to.
Clinton on the other hand lied under oath and suborned purjury, isn't that considered a crime, or do you give it a pass because a Liberal does it?

Clinton was found not guilty by the Senate. Lying about your private sex life is hardly reprehensible and quite understandable. Clinton should probably have just refused to say anything about the matter.
Lying about reasons to go to war results in needless deaths. Death and destruction are always horrible, especially when both were so unnecessary.

Just which of you 'Gentlemen' would stand before his family and children and the whole world and admit to having an elicit sex with a young attractive lady?
To compare that to deceit and lying to take this country to war is simply not possible no matter how hard you try!
Thanks

Rage....I'm a Neighborhood Neighbor....I had 12 yr olds in thongs and hiphuggers running around happy as clams because "that's not sex". (I didn't buy them that crap and I straightened them out as much as I could, but how do I explain that to them now at 18 that killing thousands of innocents is being a murderer)?
The Bloody Bush Regime will last much longer in history. I just hope our way of life does....I understand Rage...

well, all presidents are FORBIDDEN to lie about personal matters, but obviousy, they are expected to lie about goverment issues. its known, those things we are to naive etc to know the real truth behind them. it's the same when they lie and say they dont torture prisoners for infomation... etc

ummm.... lying is always a bad idea... but i guess if you want to lie about having sex with an intern go ahead "you will regret it " and our president lieing about his motives is very very bad and it will never be ok but there is no one who can do anything about it. And i dont know what right you asking if you have but if you become president try not to lie and you will regret lieing about having sex with your intern exspecially if you are married or have a gf. But good Luck.

Even your 'Lower than Bush' approval rating Democrats thought the information about Iraq was correct at the time.
Quit beating that horse, he's been dead for years.
(Besides that, people were more upset that Clinton perjured himself before a Grand Jury.)
