Many forget Clinton supported war against Iraq. His opinion must have been formed with information he gathered during his presidency right?
The list is endless of the polices Obama has kept and expanded. You are smarter than that.
Edit: I should add it was what Clinton said during the 1990s about Iraq that made me a supporter of the war when it was first started.

Difference is, Clinton didn't lie. The inspections failed, we went to war with the full backing of the U.N. - Agree with the war or not, he didn't lie.
Bush said Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction that posed a threat to the U.S. - which was complete bullshit, simply because the Bush admin ignored everything that contradicted what they said - and everyone contradicted them outside of our 'own private' intelligence. Bush also said, Saddam tried to buy uranium from one of the shit holes in Africa - ie: Bullshit. Oh we aren't done, a few days later he said a union address: "Our intelligence sources tell us that [Saddam] has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production." this is just one of many bullshit lines. Then what happened? Oh yeah... they "shipped out all the weapons...." this is on top of many false claimed reports that never turned up. He then tried to relate 9/11 terrorists as being defectors from Iraq and actually spewed that across the news.
I actually could keep going for an hour.
