Bill Clinton Tells Iowans: I 'Opposed Iraq' From Start
MUSCATINE, Iowa (Fox News) — Showing inconsistency on an issue that has dogged his wife, former President Bill Clinton told Iowa Democrats on Tuesday that he "opposed (war in) Iraq from the beginning."
Clinton was in Iowa on the campaign trail for his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton.
On Iraq, he told the crowd that wealthy people like he and his wife should pay more taxes in times of war. "Even though I approved of Afghanistan and opposed Iraq from the beginning, I still resent that I was not asked or given the opportunity to support those soldiers," Clinton said, according to The Washington Post.
But the former president's opposition to the war has not been clear from the start. Like his wife, Clinton has been critical of the Iraq war in recent months, but at one time he gave President Bush the benefit of the doubt.

Ever since Bill Clinton left office in '01, he likes to go around telling people how rich him and his wife is. If he resents so much not paying more taxes in war time, then why doesn't he just go ahead and pay more taxes? If I'm not mistaken, the IRS will not turn your request down if you want to send them a bigger check. Why doesn't he just send a check to organizations that help soldiers?
Why doesn't Bill Clinton do what Rush Limbaugh did a few weeks ago and cut a million dollar check to help our soldiers? Instead of waiting for the tax man to do it for him, there is nothing stopping him from doing it voluntarily.
