Well, sorta. Bill Clinton is a gentleman, and his attacks always seem mild, more like constructive criticism than an attack. But make no mistake about it: Clinton was taking W. to the woodshed with his remarks to “This Week”:

Clinton said the Bush administration had decided to invade Iraq “virtually alone and before UN inspections were completed, with no real urgency, no evidence that there were weapons of mass destruction.”

The Iraq war diverted US attention from the war on terrorism “and undermined the support that we might have had,” Clinton said in an interview with an ABC’s “This Week” programme.
