Caspar Weinberger on President Clinton

[Catherine Vincent]

Caspar Weinberger: Well certainly it's a factor, sadly. It's a weakened presidency. It's a distracted presidency. Mr. Clinton doesn't understand the military. He doesn't like the military except when he has to use it. And he uses it in all kinds of weakening capabilities around the world in places like Haiti, Bosnia and places like that that don't help the military in any way but put it in considerable risk. So, also I think we've lost a lot of our allies that we had in the Gulf War because they simply don't trust or believe in Clinton and they don't believe that he's going to be consistent or reliable.

Caspar Weinberger: Well, I don't think they can. He looks people in the eye and says things. The bulk of the people who say that they want to approve his job performance also say that they don't trust him and they don't believe him. And that's a very sad thing for a person in his position.

"When you ask the army to detain, disarm, and disable people, you are going way beyond what the military role should be." Casper Weinberger, Former Secretary of Defense
