Just as a fact check -
The landing you're referring to occurred on December 9, 1992.
George H.W. Bush was president, not Clinton.
Well from what I've heard there have been 15,000 troops on the securing Baghdad mission so an additional 21,000 will double that number. Bush said yesterday the problem has been with sweeping areas and then not having enough troops to secure it, so the bad guys just move back in. I'm sure more Iraqi soldiers will committed to Baghdad so hopefully all this will make a difference.
NO way...the landing that I'm thinking about was under Clinton.
Thanks....it was President ELECT Clinton! Huge difference.
When the troops are in the field away from home, the President always has Congress by the balls.

And I am so glad he does!
Commander in Chief is the President's job. It was put into the Constitution and ABSOLUTELY taken out of the hands of Congress after their infighting during the Revolutionary War.
ROTFLOL!!! Are you kidding .. some of the troops are already there and the dems are still whining about how they're not going to allow it ..?? ROTFLOL!!
yep
WONDERFUL!!! The idiot president outdid the dems again!!! I just love it.
Go get 'em fellers.
And may God watch over and protect you.

media idiots
