Please help me list Bill Clinton's long list military deployments

I apologize in advance as this is more of a question and a request for research assistance than a normal post but I knew that the posters here could help...
I was speaking to a co-worker today and he took me aback when he made the statement that President George Bush scared him because he had invaded Iraq. He went on to say that a "normal" person wouldn't attack another country. He then stated that Bill Clinton was who he considered to be a normal person...
Aside from various other reasons why his statement is not true I pointed out to him that Bill Clinton deployed the military more times than any other President. Well, to make a long story short he did not believe me so I told him that I would bring him a list of the the military deployments during Bill Clinton's presidency. After a short search on google I could only come up with a few; however, I did come up with a quote stating that Bill Clinton sent our military abroad 140 times. Beginning with the insertion of "peacekeeping" soldiers overseas early in his first term, Clinton dispatched the American military on more than 140 distinct deployments, more than any Commander-in-Chief in American history.
Does anyone have a list or even a partial list that I can take with me to work tomorrow?
Thanks for any help with finding this information!

Wow, in Clinton's second term we had no less than seven deployments called "opertion [insert name here] response". Guess that says a lot about his leadership approach, grab the bull by the horns but only after its run over your family.

Don't forget the flubbed handling of Waco and Ruby Ridge.
