Tony Snow calling it a carrot and stick arguement that the President just gave.

The two tend to be more effective used together than separately, a concept the Clinton Administration never quite understood.

You can get more with a kind word and a carrier battle group then you can with just a kind word. :P

That's because Clinton was preoccupied with all the different ways he could use a carrot...

The Clinton Administration was complicit in extending, by several years, the Serb-Bosnian-Croation war. Every time the Serbs would agree to a cease-fire and the Bosnians were considering the terms, Clinton would jump on TV and issue threats to Serb that they'd better agree to the cease-fire or else. The Bosnians then thought the U.S. would stand up for them getting better terms and would turn down the agreement on the table. This happened several times - just so Clinton could claim he was important.

I've got to know you've got a stick and will use it before I decide on the carrott.

That wasn't a carrot....
