Bill Clinton admits the Rwandan problem was his biggest failure. But, he is not completely at fault. The republican congress and Senate as elected in 1994 are certainly more to blame than anything Bill Clinton could or could not do. Wasn't he impeached for a blowjob? High crimes and misdemeanors my ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Clinton didn't actually cause it. On the other hand BushCheney actually caused the Iraq situation.

I thought he was impeached for lying about it???
Please explain what the difference in powers between the president and congress are because I thought the president decides whether to ask congress for approval to send troops to war??

Rwanda, was a tragic event.
Bill clinton, the republican congress at the time, and america were not solely responsible for atrocities.
The whole world turned a blind eye.
Its a habit doncha know

He was impeached for LYING about it, not for the BJ.Former President of the United States Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 19, 1998, and acquitted by the Senate on February 12, 1999. The charges, perjury and obstruction of justice, arose from the Monica Lewinsky scandal and the Paula Jones law suit. The trial proceedings were largely party-line, with no Democratic Senators voting for conviction and only five Democratic Representatives voting to impeach. In all, 50 senators voted "not guilty," and 50 voted "guilty" on the obstruction charge. The Senate also acquitted on the charge of perjury with 55 votes cast as "not guilty," and 45 votes as "guilty." It was only the second impeachment of a President in American history, following the impeachment of Andrew Johnson in 1868.

I know facts can be pesky PB - but Bill was impeached for perjury. He did lie under oath, and you can't change that fact

I thought Rwanda was more or less the UN's baby? I can't remember. I DO know they rendered what UN soldiers they DID have in Rwanda as useless under the surmounting circumstances.

This is the only true legacy Bill Clinton has and deserves
