Good one!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Such request was considered and acted on. The date: December 16, 1998.

Bill Clinton: Good evening. Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.

From the Weekly Standard, Oct. 12, 1998:

"Meanwhile, in the Senate a letter signed by Democrats Carl Levin and Joseph Lieberman and Republicans John McCain and Kay Bailey Hutchison urges the president "to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." Republicans (and Democrats) should rally behind this effort and thereby deprive the president of any excuse that he lacks congressional support for doing what needs to be done in Iraq."
