"Actually, Clinton spent close to what President Bush has spent on Defense per GDP."

I know Klinton initiated deep cuts in defence spending, and was averse to taking any real action against Al Quaeda, The Taliban or Afghanistan.
There is simply no way Klinton spent "close to what President Bush has spent" on Defense.

"Clinton spent close to what President Bush has spent on Defense per GDP." "There is simply no way..."

Technically, what TeMarius3188 said was true, but it's misleading. 

The point is that Clinton's budgets slashed defense spending in favor of domestic programs, and GW Bush's priorities were to restore defense spending.
