OK, but I think we need to define what he means by “absolutely necessary.”
Absolutely necessary means that he needs a war to help his election prospects.
Bush was one of the exceptions, but virtually all of America’s wars, and especially the major wars, were started by Democrats.
Funny, that.
Some of the wars were more necessary than others. But clinton started the war against Serbia chiefly to take attention away from Monicagate. He didn’t bother him one bit that we fought it on the wrong side.
Just like we fought Obama’s little Libyan war on the wrong side.
And we deposed the Shah of Iran and installed Muslim terrorists in his place so Jimmy Carter could get some points from the intelligentsia.
I often think of Clinton as having started 9/11.
It's true that Bush finally took responsbility, but had Clinton taken action after the first WTC bombing in '93, prosecuted a real investigation of the USS Cole, and gotten Bin Laden when he had the chance we likely would not have had a 9/11.
