Nice attempts at history re-writing, newbie. Your 20-20 hindsight is certainly remarkable.

Bush Sr. and his military leaders did exactly the right thing, every step of the way before, during, and after the Gulf War. It was one of the greatest victories in American history. And the coalition that he built and maintained amidst terrible odds saved Israel and may very well have avoided WWIII.

Your boy Clinton pissed it all away within a couple years.

Clinton apologists forget that he started micro managing every aspect of the government and defense from day one. Try again, Monica wanabees.

It's a pity that the family had to send this letter at all, and to a man with no conscious.

The time to take out Saddam Hussein was definitely when he started rejecting the UN mandates. Cracks started appearing under President Bush 41, but there wasn't enough grounds to even suggest removing Hussein until near the end of the Bush administration. Plus Saddam always came back in line the fist year or so after we threatned him again. Attacking Iraq during the election (92) would have been considered political maneuvering. Real Presidents don't leave a mess for the next one to clean up. The most obvious times to strike Iraq happened on several occasions during the Clinton administration most notably when the UN weapons inspectors were thrown out the last time. The Slickster did nothing.

My boy Clinton ? what kind of an idiot are you !!!!? Clinton was a terrible president. Haven't you read my posts ? What he did in Somolia was outrageous both by not giving our guys what they needed and by removing them after we suffered a few casualties.

I was pointing out why he did it. He did it for the same reasons Vietnam was such a disaster , the same reasons we left Sadam in power after the Gulf war , the same reasons we used mercinaries in Afganistan to do our fighting for us , the same reasons we gave Osborn the distinguished flying cross for cowardice.

These are all examples of politicains playing politics instead of doing what was needed. They think only of short term political expediency. Real cowards take the path of least resistence for fear of making a mistake. They try split the baby instead of doing what obviously must be done.

That's what Clinton did in Somalia.
