Actually Dumb, it is a bit of a surprise. Clinton has been working with Bush Sr. extensively to rebuild the areas hit by natural disasters (SE Asia and the gulf regions of US).
For Clinton to bring this up at this time, he must either feel that it is compelling to do so or he has a political agenda. I would say that both are probably true.
George W is really starting to show how much of a lame-duck president he will be for the remainder of his term.

The Iraq war diverted US attention from the war on terrorism "and undermined the support that we might have had," Bush said in an interview with an ABC's "This Week" programme.
:rotfl:
I think he's just riding the poll numbers and setting things up for him and his wife. Most every criticizim in that article can be easily disputed by the other side.

I think it's definetly all worth considering. He makes valid points but I'm suspecting some external motives. Not to say he isn't right but he anyone can point out wrong doing and Bush could easily criticize Clinton's time in office.

Though there is most likely a political agenda too, I do not believe that this is purely political. This is a big deal to break the unsaid "be nice to your sucessor" rule, and I don't think he would do that just for a political agenda (maybe he would, but IMO no).
Plus, he brings up good points that are obviously thought out as he has had a long time to put them together so I say +1 for Clinton.

So, if Clinton sez that no WMDs existed, why did he make comments to the contrary & bomb Iraq?
During Clinton's reign, no poor people existed in New Orleans?
"If we really wanted to do it right, we would have had lots of buses lined up to take them out," Clinton.
:rotfl: Hasn't that asshat seen The Picture?
BTW, the % of people at/below poverty level is less today than when Herr Klinton was ruling.
