Justin Raimondo on the blame that Billy Boy and his administration shares for the ascendance of Ahmad the Thief. Which, of course, suggests that Clinton may be as much to blame for Iraq as Bush.
Of course, as the Democrats want to exploitthe Iraq situation for political gain, they will try to paint everythign as Bush's fault and take pains to make meaningless distinctions between Clinton's and Bush's stances on Iraq (in reality, the difference is that Clinton didn't have 9/11 as cover, and perhaps that Clinton may have been a little too wishy-washy to act. I think that he would have gone to war with Iraq just like Bush did if he thought he could get away with it).
I am having none of it. There are a large number of Democrats who in the 1990s helped set up the institutions that have led us into this war, and let us remember that it was Clinton who appointed imperialist extraordinaire James Woolsey to the CIA.
The problem with the antiwar movement is that too many people want to turn it into a partisan issue, and to make it about getting the other side instead of about finding a way out of the war.
Antiwar.com, fortunately enough, has managed to keep its eyes on the ball.
That is all.
