Both Clintons seem to like war criminals [View all]

I'm not sure what the occasions were, but I've recently seen Hillary hanging out with war criminal Henry Kissinger, and Bill sharing a stage and whooping it up with war criminal Bush Jr.

WTF? Is it all right to hang out around war criminals after enough time has passed? Or do the Clintons just believe that Kissinger and Bush Jr. are swell guys?

On edit: Bill was helping launch a Presidential Leadership Scholarship program. He was yukking it up with Bush Jr. who was seated beside him. Hillary was reviewing Kissinger's new book and seemed more than happy to shake his hand. Evidently she didn't notice the blood on it.
