MUSCATINE, Iowa — Showing inconsistency on an issue that has dogged his wife, former President Bill Clinton told Iowa Democrats that he "opposed (war in) Iraq from the beginning."

Clinton was in Iowa on the campaign trail for his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton.
On Iraq, he told the crowd that wealthy people like he and his wife should pay more taxes in times of war. "Even though I approved of Afghanistan and opposed Iraq from the beginning, I still resent that I was not asked or given the opportunity to support those soldiers," Clinton said.

He has not clearly opposed the war from the start. Like his wife, the former president has been critical of the Iraq war in recent months, but at one time he gave President Bush the benefit of the doubt. "I supported the president when he asked for authority to stand up against weapons of mass destruction in Iraq," he said in May 2003, the same year he was quoted praising Bush's handling of the war.

Sen. Clinton voted to authorize the war in Iraq, and has not apologized for her decision despite attacks from war opponents Sen. Barack Obama and John Edwards, according to a report in the Washington Post.

This is the typical Clinton mentality.

I really think they play on the stupidity of the DIMocrat voter.

They know that they can play on so many levels with a DIMpcrat voter. It doesn't matter that everything they say can be proven contradictive. The whole DIMocrat philosophy is contradictive.


Hillary will not get the nomination.

Yea, that is BS...Bill Clinton wanted to long before Bush did it! They are so full of doo-doo it's pathetic. Funny thing, Hillary is TODAY (28 Nov 07) 46% to Obama's 17%.......AAARGH!

I'm in a confused dilemma with Hillary.

I want her to get the nomination, because she is very beatable, but I can't stand the Clinton's and wish they would just go away. lol

This is why I am going to vote in the Democratic primary for Barack Obama. I am sick and tired of lies and the people who said them.

I'm starting to like Obama. If there's going to be a DIMocrat President I would prefer it by someone like him.

There are alot of Republicans that like or even love Obama. Look at him when he visited Texas the last three times.
