Are you ever going to admit that the Iraq war was pointless, other than serving the different needs of various players in the Bush admin? It was the highest of crimes. Rove got a "War President", with all the approval that automatically confers. Rummy got to try his theories. The neocons served Israel. Cheney got a lot of work for Hal and other cronies. Bush got to play "War President" and finish the job Poppy left unfinished. The military got a practice scrimmage against another team, and an invasion - against a team who's ass they'd already kicked! But, the fact remains they ginned the whole thing up, co-opted American's fear and anger following 9/11, and used it to invade Iraq. Pretty much all of America knows that now - they were PLAYED.

>> How is this comment allegedly by Clinton anywhere close to what the former Bush official said? The facts are out about the Iraq War. You idiots have made a big deal about it for a decade now. First it was "No Blood for Oil." Then,it was "Where are the WMDs?" followed by "Bush Lied." Now, you want to claim it was because Bush just wanted to kick someone's ass. This is just bullshit to get the idiots riled up. You can believe that Obama was not born in this country; a rather 'other there' claim, but you can't believe someone in the Bush administration, one of the more incompetent ones we've seen, might want to 'kick some ass' in Iraq. I don't believe you. I think you don't want to imagine the Bush administration being that juvenile despite all the evidence that suggests they were.
