The only sure other way would have been to wait till he died, but then his nasty sons would have taken over. Clinton could have infiltrated the Iraq regime with anti-government radicals who could lead to an overthrow. Or he could have sent or paid assassins. But that would be illegal. And we know that Bill wouldn't have done anything illegal. And, anyway, the results would probably be the same type of rise in groups like ISIS and the same Middle East disorder we have now.
