  •  Well.. (0+ / 0-)

    The only real difference between Clinton One and Bush Two is that while Clinton focused on South America (NAFTA) and deals in the Far East, Bush Two was fixated on the Middle East, although there was still some "fixing" to be done in North Korea.

    Clinton one didn't trample on the constitution, drive up debt, squander American prestige, start unecessary wars... but I guess those are only minor points.

    It's the constitution, stupid

    •  The invasion of Iraq was planned (0+ / 0-)

      on Clinton's watch and the monitoring of communications was begun.  The justification for the latter was to counter-act industrial espionage.
      Clinton diminished the Presidency and on his watch the number of poor increased, as did the number deprived of health care.  Welfare reform did not improve it.  The Federal Reserve policies which are now causing a cascade of personal bankruptcies were set up under Greenspan whom Clinton didn't have the guts to remove.
      The uranium enrichment industry was privatized and the responsibility for the wastes was left with the public.  It was during Clinton's term that the first DU weapons were used in Kosovo (a war crime).  A million Iraqi children died prematurely and the embargo crippled the Iraqi research programs.  The no-fly zone was periodically re-enforced with bombardments of "command and control" facilities such as telephone exchanges.  The CIA was permitted to attempt to "destabilize" Saddam by teaching his opponents (Allawi) how to construct and detonate sophisticated car bombs.

      Why was it that Kerry said he's run the war smarter?  Because they were all in on the planning.  Why are the Democrats still voting to pay for the occupation?  Because they were all in on the planning.  Why is Hillary refusing to declare her vote a mistake?  Because she was in on the planning.

      How do you tell a predator from a protector? The predator will eat you sooner rather than later.
