 Bill Clinton: 'I Do Not Agree with Our Policy in Iraq'
Former President Bill Clinton stopped in the metro area Monday to discuss the state of the world with Aurora business leaders and also pick up some campaign cash for wife Hillary later in the day at a Boulder fundraiser.

Clinton made only one overt reference to her presidential campaign during his talk to a crowd of about 2,500 at the annual luncheon of the Aurora Economic Development Council, held in Denver at the Colorado Convention Center, saying he hoped not to “cost her any votes” with his commentary.
And, he directed no criticism at the current occupant of the White House, but did give negative reviews to the central theme of President George Bush’s presidency - the global fight against terror and, specifically, the war in Iraq.
“I do not agree with our policy in Iraq, but I would be prepared to double down in Afghanistan, “ Clinton said, “because you have a moderate Muslim democracy, and they don't want the Taliban back, and you don't want
al-Qaeda being able to run around, there,” said Clinton.
Clinton said he perceives America, and the world at large, to be suffering three specific maladies: gross inequality between people, the inability to sustain indefinitely the current lifestyles many currently enjoy without irrevocably damaging the planet, and the insecurity resulting from terrorism and ongoing military conflicts.
Tanned and seemingly relaxed, sounding at times almost professorial, Clinton identified one overriding theme he said is at the root of many current global ills.
“The single biggest, wrong-headed idea... at the root of all the religious conflicts, he said, is a widespread belief that “our differences are more important than our common humanity.”
Although he made no direct references to the $110 billion health care reform package unveiled today by his wife, Clinton left little doubt of his belief that reform is overdue.
