You do realize that the “no fly zone” pre-existed Bush’s term and that the military was enforcing it long before he ever took office, right?
Yes. Of course. But was Clinton acting on the “no fly zones”? When was the last time before February 16, 2001 that the US had flown an attack? I have always felt that B2 threw a rock at the hornets nest to announce that the administration of B1 was back.
