at times the U.S. warplanes attacking threatening Iraqi missile sites attacked with bombs containing only concrete, not explosives.

This may be a bit "overblown" so to speak. Practice bombs are weighted with inert stuff like concrete, with similar density to the replaced explosives. I wouldn't be surprised at all if some "training" missions were allowed over the no-fly zones that Clinton approved of. Not saying that this makes it any better, but at least our boys were getting some practice in!

Apparently not. The article is posted a few posts up from yours, no practice going on, just the liberal idea of war. You know, make love, not war.
