Remember Bill Clinton, he’s the disgraced former president who now portrays himself as an elder statesman, an elder statesman whose legacy of foreign policy blunders and erratic musings is the stuff of legend, an elder statesman so desperate to return to the White House that he champions is socialist wife as the best person for the job…yes that Bill Clinton, the same Bill Clinton whose hypocrisy knows no bounds (not unlike most politicians)…yes that Bill Clinton.

Well it seems Clinton has taken time out of his busy schedule of doing whatever it is he does on a daily basis to lambaste the US missile defense plan…why, because its supported by George W. Bush, why else.

As is the case with most leftist attacks, they often decry the very things they once supported when their team held the White House, such is certainly the case with regard to Clinton and the US missile defense shield. During Clinton’s term in office he invested heavily in the program even going so far as to address the Russian parliament (the Duma) on the merits of the program.

Now it seems, however, Clinton’s feelings have changed as he now maligns the program as a waste of money, surely this change in Clinton’s opinions are largely based on quiet reflection on the merits of the project rather than any political inclinations and certainly had Gore won the White House his feelings would be no different.
