And, to be 100% fair here, let's look at just one section of the soon-to-be infamous Bush Death List. Deny ignorance, my friends.
While a totally fair response in defense of your team, the link is simply to the wiki page for 911. I was expecting some specific allegations.
Assuming for the moment that Bush has killed as many people as the Clinton's, I fail to see how that exonerates them.
I agree that this would not exonerate Clinton, assuming that the alleged connections are true.
HOWEVER, the article itself shows a clear bias against liberals, democrats (the author calls them "demorats" at one point), and "prochoice" people, etc.
So, it is not as if this article is unbiased nor doesn't carry offensive generalized statements about liberals.
Again that does not mean that Clinton doesn't have crime connected to him or his associates, including murder or drugs.
But, it is important for people of either party, including Republicans, to realize that many politicians at that level are connected to nefarious activities.
Hell, just George W Bush's invasion of Iraq is a war crime of aggression, with over 200,000 deaths. Ain't no conspiracy.
By that measure, one would have to indict FDR over all and, while he did gobs of damage to our republic, I wouldn't accuse him of personally murdering (tricky definition there I realize) any of the innocent people who died in WWII.
No, because the measure of guilt for innocent deaths is not born simply by being involved in a war.
It is born by waging an illegal war of aggression (that is an actual international legal term). If a country is forced into a war, such as we ostensibly were in WWII by Japan and Germany's antics, then FDR was not responsible for those deaths. The other countries were.
George W. Bush, on the other hand, factually engaged in an unprovoked war of aggression in Iraq, without self-defense. Hence, he IS culpable for those deaths. IF you go attack a country and it kills a bunch of people, you ARE responsible.
Nuremberg Trials: "To initiate a war of aggression is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime, differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."

I am not a huge fan of Bush or the second Iraq war and I hate to be put into the position of appearing to defend it but, this persistent claim that it was illegal is simply not true.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441
Still wrong.
That resolution did NOT give permission for a UN-Sanctioned Chapter VII military action, especially bombing, invasion, and regime change.
Your very own link says exactly that....
It simply was a resolution about WMD's.
Remember, and I say this as someone who studied with high-level Security Council officials, no country nor coalition of countries can legally attack another country (such as Iraq) without a Chapter VII resolution specifically giving allowance for it. This quite simply did not exist.
Almost without exception these Chapter VII resolutions and the UN Charter do not allow for forced regime change, nor abject attacks. The only allowance for unilateral actions is in REAL self-defense.
Moreover, it has been proven time and time again that the WMD's were non-apparent, and that Iraq really didn't pose a threat nor did Saddam want to pose a threat.
All of it was a lie.
Therefore, it was a war of aggression, and evil.

The USA and Britain, while admitting that such a resolution was diplomatically desirable, insisted that Iraq had now been given enough time (noting also the time since the first disarmament resolutions of 1991) to disarm or provide evidence thereof, and that war was legitimized by 1441 and previous UN resolutions.

Let us also not forget that Bill Clinton is directly tied
through court documents to
a sex slave pedophile island.
It is proven he was present at a mansion, on an island, where underage sex slaves were kept.
He also invited the procurer/handler/fixer of the child sex slaves to his daughter's wedding.

There are lots and lots more from sources many of you would scream about, but here are just a handful of what is out there from reputable sources.
And we are supposed to think the wife who stood by through all of this and knows now if she didn't then, and all the other infidelities that have been made public.
We are to think she should be praised and held up as a role model for women.
And should be the next President of the US
Get a grip people.

All of it was a lie.
Therefore, it was a war of aggression, and evil.
Let me first agree with the sentiment (minus the evil part).
I have been fairly careful in my wording thus far.
There had been 17 resolutions pertaining to Iraq up to that point, the last of which was unanimous.
If I remember correctly, it was Colin Powell himself that insisted on pursuing the 18th (or 2nd) resolution for the explicit authorization to use force.
As I understand it, he had been working behind the scenes to drum up international support for this and managed to convince the administration to follow strict UN procedure having been convinced by the representatives of France and Russia that this “final resolution” would be supported.
When it became clear that it would not be, the resolution was withdrawn and, instead, a “coalition of the willing” was formed with the expressed intent of not appearing to be dismissive of international consensus.
The "material breach" that was cited as the justification was based upon the failure of Iraq to account for thousands of chemical weapons which had been documented by UN inspectors but no longer accountable for when they returned after having been ejected and reinserted into the country.
Iraq claimed that they had an accounting anomaly and could not provide the location and evidence of their destruction.
That is pretty much the story from a legal point of view. It was neither a cut and dry violation of the spirit nor letter of any UN resolution up to that point.

So no Clinton is a republican like Bush and the neo-cons. I'll never make that mistake again. I'm not rich enough to vote republican.
