To: George W. Bush

All Miniter said was that it wasn't enough. BTW almost all Congressional Republicans backed Clinton's response at the time.

BTW almost all Congressional Republicans backed Clinton's response at the time.

And both Bush and McStain publicly supported Xlinton in his little U.N. expedition to Bosnia. Another colossal failure of both the U.N. and the Xlinton gang.

Since you weren't here at the time, I thought I'd mention FReepers were in absolute opposition to the policy. Including supporting the soldier who refused to wear the U.N. helmet and was ultimately courtmartialed. And we were right. Our country should never have operated under the corrupt U.N. to sustain and strengthen Muslim narco-terrorists in eastern Europe, the processing and distribution center for all that Afghan opium.

The Welch Report
"President Clinton´s order to U.S. troops to wear a U.N. uniform was extremely controversial, unpopular, and alleged to be illegal and unconstitutional. House Majority Whip Rep. Tom Delay sponsored a bill to prohibit the wearing of a U.N. uniform by U.S. service personnel. This bill was a reaction to the case of U.S. Army soldier Michael New, who had refused to wear a U.N. uniform and was court-martialed and discharged for bad conduct by Clinton.

Such a bill was considered unnecessary under President Bush because he – and the Republican Party – had made it absolutely clear that he would never order U.S. troops to serve under U.N. command. "I will never place U.S. troops under UN command," candidate Bush said in his speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Simi Valley, California, November 19, 1999. The 2000 Republican Party Platform declared that "American troops must never serve under United Nations command."
It has gone mostly unnoticed that in 2002 Bush forced U.S. soldiers to serve the U.N., wearing the blue helmet and shoulder patches and serving under a Bangladeshi general. No doubt McCain was supporting. And the Xlintons are laughing.
