Nobody Protested Bill Clinton's Wars
February 18, 2003
We say that this program is show prep for the rest of the media that follows. A little monologue we did yesterday, the first ever audience participation monologue in the history of the program, where we asked you people to form a little circle with your index finger and thumb to represent the protestors protesting Saddam Hussein over the weekend, is now being echoed throughout the press.
Every program I saw yesterday afternoon and last night talked about the same thing, that none of these protests were anti-Hussein. They were all anti-Bush and anti-America. Where were these protesters when Clinton launched cruise missiles at Iraq? Do you know that Bill Clinton launched more cruise missiles into Iraq in 1998 than the total number of cruise missiles that were used in the Gulf War? Bill Clinton, in 1998, launched more than 450 cruise missiles into Iraq. This is why we ran out of them in Bosnia.
No, Jacques Chirac was not appalled at Clinton's actions, there were no protesters protesting then. There were no protesters protesting what we did in Bosnia, there were no protesters protesting what we did in Haiti.
These protesters we saw this weekend are not protesting anything other than George W. Bush and America. They're protesting a Republican president and conservative Republican power. That's it in a nutshell and that sentiment was echoed throughout the media all afternoon and night last night, and I assume while Joe Millionaire was on, the cable news networks were still making that point.
We could always send in the French - eh?
I believe Rush mentioned that most of the missiles were launched during Grand Jury testimony...
