In reply to the discussion: Politico: Bill Clinton Breaks With Obama On Syria [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)28. I think it is a brilliant political move, and many Kudos to Bill. And remember Rwanda?
Bill regrets that he didn't do something
and remember, FDR because of public opinion did not go into WW2 for years, and well, how many people died because of the
fact that americans didn't want it.
In retrospect, Bill Clinton was a very good president based on the times we were living in, and it was a very
astute political move.
Maybe we all can argue this for weeks and weeks, and hopefully the MSM will argue this throughout the summer too,
maybe even into the middle of next year.
Go Bill
(note-this is NOT satire in case someone thinks that.)

Bill Clinton needs to read Jeremy Scahill's book DIRTY WARS before he makes such stupid remarks.

Clinton's free to think what he wants, but he doesn't get daily security briefings.

I stand corrected. I just thought I heard Dick Cheney blabbering on about some intelligence reports
