George Senior and the Gulf War handed the baton over to Clinton who made Iraq suffer with sanctions for his two full terms, and whtever else we probably don't know, then it was handed again to George Junior to finish off the grand theft. How many years span is that that the American administration, with only 2 names in all those years, held steadfast to making Iraq as weak as possible.

I do not accept this is all coincidental and that there weren't any understandings and deals made between these administrations. And people wonder why I have this 'unreasonable' dislike of the Clintons, and the Bushes. That's it, the way the sentence read: The Clinton and the Bushes. They are and were partners in misdeeds.

I am so proud of John Kerry right now... CherokeeDem Jan 2013 #1
