Posturing: Clinton says Iraq invasion was a big mistakeAssociated Press | November 16, 2005 The United States made a "big mistake" when it invaded Iraq, former President Bill Clinton said Wednesday, citing the lack of planning for what would happen after dictator Saddam Hussein was overthrown. "Saddam is gone. It's a good thing, but I don't agree with what was done, " Clinton told students at the American University of Dubai. "It was a big mistake. The American government made several errors ... one of which is how easy it would be to get rid of Saddam and how hard it would be to unite the country." Clinton did however say that the United States had done some good things in Iraq: the removal of Saddam, the ratification of a new constitution, and the holding of parliamentary elections.

COMMENT:
If Clinton says now that the invasion of Iraq was wrong, then why did his reprobate wife and Chucky Schumer (as well as almost every leading Democrat including John Kerry) frothingly support the war -- including calling for invasions of Iran and Syria. This is all just political posturing.
