Clinton defends successor's push for war

[Bombardier]

(CNN) -- Former President Clinton has revealed that he continues to support President Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq but chastised the administration over the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison.

"I have repeatedly defended President Bush against the left on Iraq, even though I think he should have waited until the U.N. inspections were over," Clinton said in a Time magazine interview that will hit newsstands Monday, a day before the publication of his book "My Life."

Clinton, who was interviewed Thursday, said he did not believe that Bush went to war in Iraq over oil or for imperialist reasons but out of a genuine belief that large quantities of weapons of mass destruction remained unaccounted for.

Is it not tradition for former Presidents and sitting Presidents to avoid saying shit about the other even if their mouth is full of it?

Hmmm...not really. There's a general respectfulness...but Carter, for one, has spoken out on a number of occassions

I can't recall any exchanges that were really uncivil although there may have been. Mostly it is semi-polite criticism, unlike the diatribe that goes on during the campaigning.
