I Guess Grace Never Was His Strong Suit Anyway

How completely nonsensical.

So the invasion was a "big mistake" with a lack of planning yet somehow we managed to have the removal of Saddam, the ratification of a new constitution, and the holding of parliamentary elections. Sounds like there was a plan to me and it appears as though removing Saddam was easy. What is it with the former Democrat Presidents feeling the need to criticize the current Commander-in-Chief? This sort of behavior coupled with the current tactics of the neo-liberal crowd will unfortunately come back upon them tenfold when the next Democrat is in office.

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.
