Of course, back in 1998 conservative peacenicks (who represented a majority on FR among the GOP members in Congress) would have slammned him because of his support for Bill Clinton's war in Kosovo.

Perhaps you are a tad confused.....Bosnia and Kosovo are not the same country..they were all states within the former Yugoslavia. True, many of us saw the action in Kosovo that Clintoon implemented as another wag the dog...but then it was based on a false report that there had been a massacre in Racak. We also had spent time reading world news reports, that pointed to the KLA as a terrorist outfit. BTW, the Racak massacre report has since been refuted, but the findings had been initially held back because of the conflict in Kosovo.

Thanks for the correction but I am aware that these were different wars, though, of course, the overlap in issues was substantial. As a longtime freeper however, I remember that many here were quite skeptical of the Bosnia War for many of the same reasons they were skeptical of the Kosovo war.
