I think the missles Clinton launched after the Cole, or Khober towers attack landed in Afghanistan.

I think that is the basis for Bush's "I'm not going to launch billion dollar missles to hit a camel in the A$$" quote (not verbatim, but that was the idea).

I think during impeachment hearings he lobbed a few cruise missles at Bin Laden's camels and some tents.

"I absolutely did. I did not support Operation Desert Fox. It's just that you didn't know me very well back then. Nobody really was interested in listening to me back then."

Well, someone needs to tell Janeane THAT NO ONE GIVES A DAMN WHAT SHE THINKS NOW, THEN, OR EVER!!!! Now with that behind me, this just proves what conservatives and people who think for themselves have been saying all along.

When the Embassies were attacked Bill launched a cruise missile attack against a suspected al-queda camp in Afghanistan (to no effect and probably the proximate cause of 9-11) and destroyed a Sudanese Aspirin Factory.

Surely you remember, when his deposition tape came out ("depends on what the meaning of 'is' is"), and he had to get it off the front page, and he discovered the great Bin Laden threat, and bombed the Sudanese aspirin factory, and fired the infamous "$2 million missiles at empty tents to hit a camel in the butt"? Several crashed in Pakistan, as I recall, and were recovered.

Not to be confused with the day impeachment was going to be voted, and he tossed a few missiles at Saddam, in the middle of the night while the buildings were empty to avoid hurting anyone.

And they say Bush's reasons for wanting to take out Saddam are "personal", lol.

That would be the 1988 bombing of an empty aspirin factory and some empty tents...which prompted President Bush to explain to the world after 9/11 that THIS time we weren't going to 'fire a $10,000 missile into an empty tent and hit a camel in the butt'
