Bill Clinton: Overrated "Pacifism"

William J. Clinton, former president of the United States, is often regarded as a relief following the "Bush: Part One" years and an economic savior. He is credited by fans as being intelligent for supposedly backing off the Middle East and remaining pacifistic and wise.

Wrong.

As most of you know, Bill Clinton was impeached. His impeachment followed a series of events that began starting in 1994, when a lawsuit was filed against the president. The funny thing is the lawsuit was dismissed and thrown out by the same U.S. District Judge that played in favor of Clinton during the Kenneth Starr Investigation into the president. Then came the Monica Lewinski disaster. Both Lewinski and Clinton denied any sexual relationship, yet Lewinski friend and secretary Linda Tripp cared to disagree. In fact, tapes of conversations between Lewinski and Tripp over the topic were sent to Kenneth Starr, the independent investigator looking into Clinton specifically on the Whitewater controversy. These tapes were sent on the same day Lewinski's lawyer handed in a sworn affidavit claiming that there were no sexual relations between herself and the president.

Starr expanded investigation and included more charges which included the Lewinski scandal and then perjury under the Paula Jones scandal. Lewinski would later sellout the president after being granted immunity, when she admitted that there was a sexual relationship, but intercourse did not occur.Then the president would later admit it during the proceedings, that there was a relationship at hand.

We can't forget the earlier scandal popularly referred to as "Travelgate", where the Clinton clan fired seven long-time White House travel office employees and replaced them with hometown friend from Arkansas.

The significance of this? Well, the funny thing is the timing of Operation Desert Fox, a four day bombing of Iraq in retaliation for their resistance of the United Nations security council. Even funnier, it came at the climax of the Clinton saga when the impeachment voting went under way right about this time. Trying to distract the media, much?

Three days after Clinton was called to testify in the Monica Lewinski case, Operation Infinite Reach went underway, which was a bombing of two suspected terrorist bases in Afghanistan and Sudan.

Now let me ask you, would a four day bombing and a three day bombing do much damage? Nope. In fact, by ignoring the people you bomb after a short cherry bomb drop, that allows time to rearm and recover. So that off the bat proves that not only did Clinton support a regime change in Iraq by signing the Iraq Liberation Act, he also supported it by launching an attack-in effort to distract the American public and its media from the ongoing investigation into his own personal disaster.

If you want to know further on why the impeachment should have been impeached, think about this. While liberals boast about how George W. Bush attacked Iraq on false pretenses, Clinton attacked Iraq for the pure sake of saving his own back end from sharp scrutiny from his entire nation.

Clinton's justification? Intelligence speaking on the topic for him claimed that Desert Fox successfully eliminated the Iraqi WMDs, but it was not verified until the 2003 invasion under George W. Bush. But the report submitted by Charles Duelfer, popularly known as the "Duelfer Report," stated that Hussein's nuclear strength had significantly and progressively deteriorated starting in 1991, as a result of the Persian Gulf War.

Should I mention that Clinton also allowed an attack on Iraq in 1996, "Operation Desert Strike"?

The bottom line? Bill Clinton is a liar. His presidency is a semi-crock and should not be glorified because of his economic success. He was hypocritical, and is now, more than ever, in his attacks on Bush.
