Why is it ok for Bush to drag us to war under false pretenses but Clinton can't get some strange?

Because this is now a republican ran country now, and as far as I can tell by reading some questions and answers on Y!answers there are still a lot of ill minded republicans morons (suzyQ, conservative) to name a couple, would rather have an oil, war criminal republican over a Democrat who got a little side action.\nDon't forget about the christian support just because king George speaks of the bible.\n\nrhymingron, Bush lied a couple more times than Clinton. Don't start comparing the honesty of Bush and Clinton. How about lying for the reason of wars, wire tapping, selling of the ports, knowing certain people for money( Bush was in a picture with someone and denies knowing him. Lies about why the fuel is so high, lies about hunting Bin Laden. Overall, edit your answer and put Bush as dishonest!!

Answer is NO! However, I think the bigger problem is finding out who leaks this information, there are a lot of Clinton era hold-overs.\n\nNewspapers are in the business of bashing Bush, so they will do whatever it takes to hinder the war effort, and then hide behind freedom of the press. It is getting people killed, and prolonging the war by telling our enemy everything they need to know.

Mr Clinton stated that the reason he was sending troops was because Milosevic was committing genocide.  He was right and it was stopped.  Mr. Bush claimed he was sending troops because Saddam had WMD's, was starting a nuclear weapon program, had ties to AL Quada and was involved in 9-11.  All those things were wrong and now thousands of people are dead and the killing continues.  If Mr. Bush would have stated he was sending troops because Saddam was committing genocide, then he would have been right, also.  That's the difference: being right vrs. being wrong.

If you were cognizant of reality, you would realize just how uneducated your question is.\n\nAfter 9/11, the US and a coalition of nations went into Afghanistan because the Taliban government there was hosting and supporting al-Qaeda and Osama.\n\nBush had also said that he was generalizing the war on terror, and supported going after countries (like Iraq) that supported, hosted and supplied terrorists, including al-Qaeda, Hamas, etc.\n\nAdditionally, Saddam had refused to comply with the UN resolutions in destruction of his WMD (see link).\n\nWe were not OK with Iraq under Clinton; Clinton created the US policy of regime change in Iraq. On 12/16/1998, Clinton attacked Iraq with almost 400 stand-off weapons (cruise missiles) and 600 aircraft bombing sorties in response to his failure to comply with UN weapons inspectors.\n\nYour 'knowledge' of recent history is wrong.

Frist I like to say that people are people, and people make misstakes, and 2nd you should never takes on a side of a "party". Some people who like Bush do not think he is perfect[like me]. But people get binded, ther think that if they say that someone that they subport does wrong that there will look like a fool too. No one like to look that way, so we put on a front. That is why peole piont on Clinton so we do not look so bad.

Clinton was an AMAZING president. What I don't understand about this whole thing, though, is why he was nearly impeached for lying about sex, while our current president is rewarded for bringing our country to war under false pretenses.

Because the Republicans were happy to cause a distraction about a minor sexual matter and distract our President and the whole congress from worrying about other little matters like international terrorism and the security of this country.\n\nIf they hadn't hounded Clinton on that silly pretext, they might have been thinking about oversight of our intelligence organization, strengthening our borders, and controlling illegal immigration. But rather than do the job they were elected for, they just wanted to take down a popular President.\n\nThe GOP is disgusting. They have no respect for this country, refuse to defend it, charge into foreign wars to the detriment of the American people, and then bleat about it when they are thrown out of office.\n\nThe Democrats recognize that although Bush undoubtedly has committed high crimes and misdemenors, there is little point in pursuing impeachment at a time when our country needs some real backbone and leadership to face the threats the Republicans have mishandled and ignored for over six years.

Wow, are you late to the game. What have you done in your past? Oh? You're not perfect? I seem to remember ex-President Clinton committing a crime WHILE IN OFFICE. Yes, perjury is a crime, no matter what the topic of the investigation. Oh, and not to mention all the rapes and sexual assaults he committed that got swept under the rug.\n\n\nYour hate for Bush blinds your judgment, fool.

Don't make entangling ones that would drag us into a war that has nothing to do with us

It may not be.  Support for President Bush's administration comes mainly in the arena of his efforts to prosecute the war on terror.  That one issue alone has defined his time in office.  There have been mistakes, misjudgements, and he hasn't seen a spending bill that he didn't like.  He's grown government faster than most Democrats could have thought possible, which is saying a lot.  He has made efforts in providing additional funding for disabled people, education (although no child left behind is a really bad program), and, believe it or not the environment.  War time presidents are often consumed with the second guessing and bad press regarding the war that they are on the constant defensive.  So, even though I do support the effort in prosecuting the war on terror (I think that the threat was identified early enough that President Clinton could and should have handled it in the 90's) I don't think that this administration is one of the best.  But compared to Clinton's willingness to deploy the military every time he thought it would make a good photo op, I think George is doing the best he can.

It doesn't.  President Bush just claims it does, to get a reason to get suspicious about Iraqis and Arabs.  Any wrong word, even though it's a free country, the president will get suspicious.  And, there's no way of knowing if the system will be abused, the president has already lied to us enough.

Absolutely.  It has nothing to do with anything Clinton did or didn't do.  Bush is by far the worst leader in the history of Earth.

hahaha... well if Democrats are the worst terrorists, we sure don't have to worry about Bush catching us... he's let Osama go on and do whatever he wants in Pakistan...\n\nAnd oh yeah... Republicans were so nice to Clinton... Democrats are down right civil to the president compared to what you wolves did in the 90s.. hahahaha

Bush won't have a free hand to do what he wants to.
