Just like my opposition asserted that they had supported the war, if they were in office.

BUT: I have to thank former President William Jefferson Blythe Clinton! He had done something, which was VERY important for the success of that war! During his 8 years, he kept on to eliminate the Iraqi Air Defense and Air Force by strikes from time to time ("just to protect the non-fly-zones") - but that was important so that the Iraqi Air Force had no control about the air space and the US pilots could fly over the country nearly undisturbed.
