Charley,

It was worse than that. I think that what Maddy
"Mad Cow" Albright said was "Why do we have all
these weapons if we never use them?" and to that,
Colin Powell said he almost had an aneurysm.

Liberals just never seem to understand the prudent
use of force. The Clinton Administration tried
to turn the military into "Globo-cop" and just
about spent our assets in cruise missiles in raid
after raid on targets that had zero military
value. I remember that at one point during the
Kosovo War, the Pentagon actually sent a letter
to the Whitehouse and basically said that we were
going to run out of air launched cruise missiles
if we keep going like this. Clinton's response
was to simply switch to B-52s and and good old
iron bombs a la 'Nam. It was just amazing how
the draft dodger turned Commander in Chief could
find himself in the same position as Nixon, dropping
endless ordinance on soft targets trying to find
some breaking point with the enemy.
