Now, I think he is starting to realize that he has put the country in deep trouble, hence the call to the UN, which was, few months earlier, considered as totally out of the picture. I`ve heard numbers between $60Bn to $150Bn to rebuild Iraq. This can be compared to the $480Bn deficit we were discussing earlier, to understand the magnitude of the damage. And what did he achieve at that cost ? Created dozen of opportunities for new terrorists from all the middle east to join the Jihad. At least, if there had been WMDs...
For me, he is an imbecile who should never ever have had a country to run.
Clinton was not perfect, but he was practicing the policy of appeasement. One can argue that this is what allowed El Quadea to develop. My opinion is that throwing oil on the fire like GW did will have much worse consequences. You cannot kill all the terrorists in the world. All you can do is supress the reasons that make them become terrorists. Is that so hard to understand ?
