Clinton liked Bush I's Desert Storm?

“I supported the Gulf War, and supported being firm with Saddam Hussein,” he boasted just after claiming the Democratic nomination in July 1992....A review of Mr. Clinton's public statements on the war supports his recollection of his position, but also appears to support the idea that he was, at bottom, a very late and very ambiguous supporter of the war, and that he later sought to suggest otherwise, in political appearances and interviews. 'I Supported the Gulf War'..."I supported the gulf war, and supported being firm with Saddam Hussein," Mr. Clinton told reporters in Illinois on Tuesday, in one of several such remarks he made during the course of statements harshly criticizing Mr. Bush for his handling of Mr. Hussein and the war.

Or is this like those other occasions, like NAFTA, where Hillary railed against her husband and his opinion? *wink, wink*
