By the way, the situation we have today was created by the previous administration.
RE: The economy?
Not really. The Clinton gov't certainly did nothing to temper the too-rapid growth it was going through, but it didn't CAUSE IT. It just didn't PREVENT it.
RE: Saddam?
Surely you jest? It was Reagan who propped up Saddam's Iraq, and funded the Afghan Mujahadeen, and Bush-1 who fought half a war, leaving in its wake a myriad of UN sanctions. All Clinton ever did was lob a few cruise missiles here and there when a distraction from domestic affairs was 'needed' - hardly the cause of this situation.
