Bill Clinton: Showing off again

Bill Clinton, who lately has been waxed and buffed to "William Jefferson Clinton" was on Thursday at the opening day of a three-day symposium at Hofstra University devoted to the 42nd president's two terms.

When he was president, Clinton said, "I believed we needed a network of global cooperation," before adding: "As we see in Iraq, it's very difficult to solve complex problems when we are essentially alone."

Among our allies in Iraq are the United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, Korea, Japan, Poland, Britain, and Hungary, along with over two dozen smaller partners for freedom. When the chips were down, and we called for help, these nations proved to be America’s real allies.

Once again, Clinton is going against what my Pop always told me: "It is better to sit quietly and let someone think you are stupid, than to open your mouth and prove them right."

This was supposed to be a day for history, not politics.
