Rock'Em Sock'Em Clinton

I've been reading a lot of disheartening posts around the liberal blogs regarding this perception that Bill Clinton has been soft-pitching in his criticism of Bush lately.

Well reading this article I would have to vigorously disagree. Clinton not only hammers Bush on a number of issues, but he also shines a unique light on the Bush war machine (unique to me, anyway). This part really unseams the Bush song-and-dance

"What Americans need to understand is that ... every single day of the year, our government goes into the market and borrows money from other countries to finance Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina, and our tax cuts," he said.

"We have never done this before. Never in the history of our republic have we ever financed a conflict, military conflict, by borrowing money from somewhere else."

Clinton added: "We depend on Japan, China, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and Korea primarily to basically loan us money every day of the year to cover my tax cut and these conflicts and Katrina. I don't think it makes any sense."

Never in the history of our republic have we ever financed a conflict, military conflict, by borrowing money from somewhere else.

POW!
