at first i thought they caught him in an outright lie, but after googling some i found out he def didnt agree with invading iraq and especially so soon,with out letting the inspectors finish...so the evidence points to yes, in all realistic terms he disapproved of how and when to wage that war...even though he was openly fully supportive of the afganhistan war.

note to "whirling" - a few strategic air strikes are light years away from an invasion, regime change, occupation, and forced democracy...........

Seems like you did some research which is good. Bill Clinton was at best fuzzy on the Iraq War when it first happened. Below is the link from CNN on Bill Clintons comment in June of 2004. Remember hindsight is 20/20! The other link from FAIR.ORG gives a good historical account of Bill Clinton's comments from March of 2003 forward.

He supported it. You have to learn to decipher Clintonspeak.
Former President Clinton has revealed that he continues to support President Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq but chastised the administration over the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison.

NO
Look at the Bomb Watch web site. Clinton Bombed Iraq every few days for 8 years. If that isn't pro attack I don't know what is.

Bill was too busy with me to even think about Iraq. Does he ever love the b--- jobs I gave him.

Considering he signed the resolution making the removal of Saddam a matter of US national policy I would be highly doubtful of any claims he makes now.

No, and if you have to look more than once to see what he really said, then I would suggest he was using a form of double speak to cover his rear for which ever way things went.

Well, nice to see someone actually doing a little independent research instead of letting the neocons tell you what to think and believe. You are correct on all counts. Good Job.

No surprise there. He is a smart man. Maybe that's why he's not a conservative.
