Joe,
There was some dissention on the floor of the house by Republicans while Clinton attacked 6 countries in a two year period. They said their piece and then moved on.
The entire political might and machine of the DNC has been thrown at undermining this war. A big difference. They consciously decided to crack a few eggs with the troops.
Our country is in trouble and we are in a weaker position now because of it. The Iranians and our advesaries know it.
I don't remember it as such. Throughout Bosnia, there were calls that it was simply something that was a police action. (Yes it was, but we were also trying to maintain the peace between various factions that would have broken into a civil war. Sounds familiar.) It was both congressional and our side of the talking heads. And remember all the wag the dog stuff? Yeah, it probably was, but it was still our military engaged in varioius duties and it still impacted effectiveness and morale. But we thought it was cool to discuss wagging the dog. ANd it was our side throwing full force at the other side.
