LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) --
Former President Bill Clinton said he hopes President Bush gets the support of the United Nations before undertaking any military
action against Iraq, but he said
international law doesn't require that he do so.

In an exclusive interview Thursday on CNN's "Larry King Live," the former president said he sees a good possibility that the international community will unite to force Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to disarm.

"I still hope the United Nations can act together on this, and I still think there's a chance we can, and there's still a chance that Saddam Hussein will come to his senses and disarm," Clinton said.

He said Bush is "doing the right thing now" by gathering international support, but said he doesn't believe another U.N. resolution is needed to go to war with iraq.

"As a matter of international law, I don't think it's required," Clinton said.

And Pat Buchanan is a left-winger because he is against war with Iraq.

Why is it? Since when has Clinton been anything but a booster for the status quo, for big business and for US hegemony? What exactly did he ever do that was liberal or progressive?

Clinton, from the begininng, was critiqued as being a moderate republican. This is not surpising at all.
