I've seen some others similar to this, and personally I think we're seeing more of Clinton's personal nature. He doesn't have any political aspirations keeping him vacillating with the winds of change as when he was in office, and he doesn't have any obligation to constantly talk trash about the other side any more. Now he's free to say "Look, I been there, shit happens, cut a brother some slack sometimes. The president is not omniscient." I have a lot of respect for him for making this sort of statement, rather than holding a grudge against anybody in the GOP for the way the party basically went after him the whole time he was in office.
As for whether "the UN approach" would have been better - Iraq had been flouting the UN for over a decade. The UN has never taken any serious action in all that time, and there's no reason to believe they would take any such action given another ten years.
