Should Hillary Clinton wins the US presidency, Bill Clinton will be given the job of repairing America's damaged international reputation.

That's certainly going to be an extremely hard job, the USA's reputation is certainly suffering all over the world and not simply in the Middle East where the 1.2 million Iraqi lives have been lost, where US policy has turned Iraq into a "failed State" ,where whole towns have been turned into rubble and where countless war crimes have been committed.

It's not coca cola and McDonalds people now associate with the USA but torture, concentration camps and an appetite for mass murder.
All this in the name of controlling oil reserves and a futile attempt to protect the US dollar as the world's reserve currency.

But just a little research tells us that rather than being totally innocent in regards to the reputation the USA has earned, if Bill Clinton himself had been honest himself about the ficticious, invented stories about Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, then it's extremely unlikely that George Bush himself would have even attempted to continue the subterfuge.

On the February 18, 1998 Bill Clinton gave a speech at the Pentagon in which he referred to Hussein Kamal, Saddam's son-in-law, and chief organiser of Iraq's weapons-of-mass-destruction program, who had defected to Jordan. According to Clinton, "He (Hussein Kamal) revealed that Iraq was continuing to conceal weapons and missiles and the capacity to build many more."

It's quite easy to research what Hussein Kamal really said when he was being questioned by referring to http://www.fair.org/press-releases/kamel.pdf .

"All weapons -- biological, chemical, missile, nuclear were destroyed." The destruction took place in the summer of 1991.

What about chemical weapons?

"I ordered destruction of all chemical weapons."
An inspector enquired about anthrax. "Were weapons and agents destroyed?"

"Nothing remained."

How about the 819 Soviet-made missiles Iraq was known to have purchased in the 1980's?

"Not a single missile left, but they [kept] blueprints and molds for production. All missiles were destroyed."

So while Bill Clinton's charm (smarm) may fool some, it's quite clear that the USA's foreign policy doesn't actually change one iota regardless of whether it's the Democrats or Republicans holding the reins of terror.
