yeah - that's what he did
and he's supposed to be helping her i thought?
Lance? what up with that?
seems like Hillary and Bill BOTH have trouble with their positions - before, during and AFTER
it's part of their DNA for sure
on balance, Bill was a good President - IMO - no debate about that BUT
he whined about the treatment of his wife (other dems beating up on her) recently - NOT A GOOD PLAY
the latest one is their "support" for the Iraq War
Bill is on record a lot with his support for the President and his fear of Saddam
don't take my word for it - ck out the below piece - sure u have seen it
even liberal bloggers say Bill is struggling to find the truth here ......... hmmm
but no one on JUB is talking about it
LIFE on JUB
where many things go ignored and others get overdone
that should be on the masthead for CE+P
"proof in advertising"
haha
Bill Clinton stumbles on stump for wife

It was a partial clause in a sentence uttered in Muscatine, Iowa. But Bill Clinton's assertion Monday that he'd opposed the Iraq war "from the beginning" triggered outbursts across the political spectrum.
From the left, the right and the media establishment, the judgment was the former president had committed a gaffe that could hurt his wife's presidential bid.
"Bill Clinton Rewrites History on Iraq?" wondered ABC News' Political Radar blog. "A political blunder of monumental proportions," Dan Spencer wrote at the conservative Redstate.com. At liberal DailyKos.com, the headline was "Bill Clinton's 'truthiness' problem."
Clinton's comment, reported by the Associated Press, came in a discussion of tax cuts for wealthy Americans during wartime. "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," he said.
New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign posted quotes Tuesday from Bill Clinton in which he highlighted his reservations about using force. Before the war started in 2003, he said that "we don't invade everybody whose regime we want to change" and that if Saddam Hussein disarms, the United States should seek regime change by helping his rivals.
"As he said before the war and many times since, President Clinton disagreed with taking the country to war without allowing the weapons inspectors to finish their jobs," said campaign spokesman Jay Carson.
Clinton was more oblique in Little Rock and Iowa City less than a week after the invasion. "Whatever our politics" and "whatever your views," he said, it was time to support President Bush and the troops.
Bloggers, however, posted quotes that underscored Clinton's support for Bush and concern about Saddam. For instance:
--In April 2003 in New York, Clinton said "Saddam is gone and good riddance" and Bush shouldn't be criticized "for trying to act" on the belief that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction.
--In May 2003 at Tougaloo College in Jackson, Miss., he said that "I supported the president when he asked the Congress for authority to stand up against weapons of mass destruction in Iraq."
The hubbub comes as polls show Hillary Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama neck and neck in the race to win Iowa's leadoff nomination contest. They were tied at 29% in a Strategic Vision poll of Iowa Democrats released today.
University of Iowa political scientist Peverill Squire said Clinton's remark may revive concern about his wife's vote to authorize war. "It's undoubtedly a distraction," he said.
Obama gave a strong anti-war speech in late 2002, while he was a state legislator. Asked Tuesday about Clinton saying he opposed the war from the start, Obama laughed and said: "If he did, I don't think most of us heard about it."
