Bill has the Bush crime family's back covered ...again.

"I thought the White House did the right thing in just saying 'we probably shouldn't have said that,' " Clinton told CNN's Larry King in a phone interview Tuesday evening.

"You know, everybody makes mistakes when they are president," Clinton said. "I mean, you can't make as many calls as you have to make without messing up once in awhile. The thing we ought to be focused on is what is the right thing to do now. That's what I think." http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/07/23/clinton.iraq.sotu/

We all know the claim was no mistake, in fact it was removed from previous speeches. Calling it a mistake is a outright lie.

Why do the Clinton's always give the Bush's the benefit of the doubt ? ..why do they take him at his word ?

They have a history of covering for the Bush's, we all remember Iraq gate...

As the 1992 presidential race reached its final days, Bill Clinton promised that, if elected, he would appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate allegations by congressional Democrats that the U.S. government had secretly been aiding the Iraqi weapons buildup-and perhaps even its nuclear weapons effort-and then engaging in a cover-up to hide its handiwork. Repeatedly challenging President Bush for the Republican "tilt" toward Iraq in the 1980's, Clinton vowed that no political considerations would cloud the investigation. The Clinton team took the issue so seriously that vice-presidential candidate Al Gore, in a landmark speech, called the Iraq scandal "worse than Watergate."

Nearly four years and several grand juries later, however, the Clinton administration has swept its "Iraqgate" investigation under the rug. The Final Report, issued by attorney general Janet Reno on January 17, 995, and written by Reno deputy John Hogan, amounts to little more than a whitewash of the entire affair. In every case it examined, the report concluded there had been no violation of law. And in a classified addendum, subsequently rendered public, the intelligence community and the executive branch were exonerated of having "illegally armed Iraq," despite extensive evidence of intelligence community involvement unearthed by the Gonzalez investigation and the U.S. Customs Service. http://www.gulfweb.org/doc_show.cfm?ID=527

3. They've always been too "palsy-walsy" for my taste ...

I realize there is something to the "old boys club" of former Presidents, but you don't see Jimmy Carter cavorting around with the Bush Klan (emphasis on "Klan").

5. I think they're being black mailed by the BFEE

I'm not sure over what.. maybe the drug running that went on in Arkansas when he was Gov? Maybe something else? But I sincerely belive that is why they are so chummy.

7. I'm certain there's enough skeletons in both families' closets...

to fill up a warehouse. The drug running thing I've never spent a great deal of time looking into, although Bush's ties to the CIA kind of makes me go "hmmmm"...

4. Again-as in the pardoning of Marc Rich and no investigation of BCCI.

How do Clinton supporters view the Marc Rich pardon and ignoring BCCI? I'm curious on this.
