The buck stops where?

Our delusional president laments the "intelligence failure" that identified nonexistent WMD in Iraq and admits he was "unprepared" for war.

    Clinton's Airstrikes and Bush criticizing this

    In Joan's blog she wrote about Bush warning against nation building and criticizing Clinton's interventionist policies including these: strikes against Saddam Hussein in Iraq or Osama bin Laden in Sudan.

    I am no fan of Clinton's but, it seems funny in retrospect to see how the rightwing went after Clinton for these things and yet supported Bush's illegal invasion of Iraq and hanging Saddam.

    Went after Clinton for trying to get Bin Laden and thought him obsessed but, then oops. 9-11. Then the rightwing supports torture, never ending wars in the middle east to go after those like bin laden, and all the horrors of the last several years by the Bushies.

    Hindsight.

    If Clinton did kill bin laden what would the rightwing have said back then....and consider what bin laden did do to us a few years later and how Bush and co. reacted afterwards.
