< Billy Cinton was wagging the dog ,that much is clear. His bombing did very little but cause more hardship for the people. >
I see that you are being a very good right wing parrot today. Clack clack clack.
"In a speech to the nation, President Clinton defended his attack on Iraq, saying a "strong, sustained series of airstrikes" against Iraq was necessary to punish Saddam Hussein for his refusal to comply with U.N. weapons inspectors. Only minutes into "Operation Desert Fox," Republicans were crying "Wag the Dog." Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., joined other leading Republicans in claiming he could not support the attack because he couldn't be sure it wasn't politically motivated, although Lott had been briefed three weeks ago about the possibility of an attack if Saddam defied the United Nations."

If you attempted just for once to think for yourself, you would see that the bombings were very effective, as evidenced by the lack of WMD after the most intensive search in history. Oh, BTW, Tony Blair concurred that the bombing was necessary, and they assisted us.
Thank you Bill Clinton for doing what was necessary to keep Saddam in check without unnecessarily losing American soldiers as Bush has done, for a lot less money. Thank you for not getting into "quagmire accomplished".
And, btw, thank you for the best economy that we have ever had. For ALL Americans, not just the wealthy.
