Thanks. These liberals who get joy in seeing our soldiers die so they can bash Bush, are some the sickest people on this planet. Someone needs to tell Charlie Rangel that while no soldiers may have died in "Clinton's Wars," no peace was won, either. Haiti and Kosovo are bigger messes today because Clinton didn't have the personal courage to fullfil his obligations he made when he committed action to those countries. Which also means that more American men and women may die in the future to really fix those problems.

You'd also think that Charlie would understand that bombing someone from 15,000 feet is alot different from fighting someone from 50 feet. One president took his committment seriously...regardless of the political fallout, because it was more important to resolve the conflict, now...instead of having to fight it again in the future. For liberals to give Clinton credit for no US deaths when the very tactic taken in Kosovo lead to more civilian deaths, again, just shows their hypocrisy. Ironically, we are losing more people now in Clinton's so-called peaceful Kosovo, than we did during his war. These are really some sick people.

Problem is, Charlie's wrong. And it's not just SFC Cardott in Haiti. Just to be clear, the media is reporting every death in Iraq, including accident and illness.
