I Just Figured It Out: The Iraq War Is All Clinton's Fault!

[stopbush]

Man,the BFEE is so incredibly resourceful. They learn their lessons well and act upon those lessons.

Case in point: Bill Clinton's 8 years in office. The Rs saddled him with "deficits as far as the eye could see." They figured that their efforts to starve the beast (initiated by St Ronnie The Flaw/Clueless) through dismal economic policies would hamstring any president that came along. No matter how much they wanted to help the little guy, they'd be battling the deficits forever and nothing would happen.

But Clinton outfoxed them. He erased their deficits and started producing surpluses. He kept the country out of major conflicts and in relative peace and prosperity, so much peace and prosperity in fact, that the country got bored with how easy it all was and started obsessing about BJs.

So, the Rs looked at their deficit policy not as a failed policy, but an *incomplete* policy. When the SCOTUS illegally installed *, item #1 on the agenda was to get us into Cheney's dreamed-for endless war. By coupling that with exploding deficits that made Reagan's look like child's play, they came up with the ultimate solution: a war against the American people on every conceivable front that not even the greatest politician could handle.

And, it's working!

So blame Bill for this war. Had he been as ineffective as his predecessors, the Rs would have been content to simply shift the wealth to them and their cohorts.

Does that make sense?

1. Of course

The recruiting problems facing the Military today are also Clinton's fault.

I have a step-son who is ultra-conservative. He actually tried that excuse on me. I hit him over the head with fact after fact after fact.

Didn't change his opinion :banghead:

4. Of course, it's Clinton's fault

Who wants to enlist when the President is getting a BJ in the oval office?

:sarcasm:

2. Clinton was always too decent to these people. He should've jailed them

for their decades of treason against this country and their crimes against the world.

3. Yes he should have done exactly that!

If he had, Chimp wouldn't have been able to run in 2000. I swear I read somewhere that Greenspan advised Clinton not to go after GHWB, citing that it would cause world wide financial problems. I wish I could remember where I read that.

5. I just mentioned that in another thread.

That's part of the BCCI story. Clinton was faced with the collapse of the world economy if everything came out about BCCI.

Faced with that, I understand why Clinton chose to close the book on it, but, in retrospect the world would have survived a few years of economic disaster then more easily than it will survive the power accrued by the fascists during that time.

So put me down on the side that sez throw them in jail and throw away the key. I want all those books opened.

6. Put me down on that side as well.

I read so much here, thank you DUers, that I sometimes forget the source or documentation of my recall.
