Did Clintons waste $87Billion in Iraq?

No but if he did'nt ship all those taxable jobs to mexico the 87B would be easier to swallow.

Both are wrong from a fiscal responsibility perspective. Still does'nt negatate the fact clinton was in foriegners back pocket and big business.

Speaking of fiscal irresponsibility and being in the pocket of foreigners and big business, Clinton doesn't hold a candle to Bush. Projected 500 Billion deficit, nobid Halliburton contracts, hands off FERC in CA energy crisis, kid gloves to the Saudis who killed 3000 Americans on 9/11. And Bush is shipping US manufacturing jobs overseas just as fast as Clinton if not faster.

This thread is about Clinton so I thought it was ok to broach the subject. no?


I'm just tired of all politicians ignoring problems at home and diverting attention and spending money abroad.

I don't believe what Clinton is trying to do is politically motivated, rather motivated by his conscience.

I don't really care what his rationale is. I applaud him for his actions regardless of his motivation. Bush should take the time to do so also. Like Reagan used to say, "you can accomplish amazing things if you don't worry about who gets the credit."

US ends funds for African Aids programme

Suzanne Goldenberg in Washington
Thursday August 28, 2003
The Guardian

The US government has cut off funds to an Aids programme for refugees in Africa - six weeks after President George Bush toured the continent promising to fight the disease - because it objects to the activities of one of the aid agencies involved, Marie Stopes International.
A state department official said yesterday that US law prohibited the funding of organisations that support China's repressive population policy - a definition sufficiently elastic to include Marie Stopes, which runs family planning programmes there.

However, organisations that work on reproductive health and Aids argue that the decision betrays the Bush administration's wider hostility to abortion. Its commitment to a rightwing Christian agenda has led it to promote abstinence as a strategy against HIV-Aids in preference to condoms, they say.

Surprise, surprise - talk is cheap for the Bushies

You bet they are. They know that Clinton would still be Pres. if there was not a Term Limit on the Presidency.

I don't feel threatened by him. I see his image rebuilding campaign is well underway though, but I also applaud this action he has taken. AIDS is a terrible thing, and the world needs to free itself from it's grasp.

Actually, if there were no term limits, Reagan would probably still be President (or would have been President for as long as he was physically able). I like Clinton but he wouldn't have stood a chance against the Gipper in an election. It wouldn't have been as big an ass-whooping as Carter and Mondale got administered, but it still wouldn't have been a contest.

I dont know about that. reagan was way far into alzheimers in his 2nd term.

I never thought it was right that the republicains kept him for a 2nd term he should have never ran because of his illness.
