<< and to blame this action on the scandal is unfair. >>

I wasn't blaming the action on the scandal. I was being a Monday-morning quarterback, wishing the U.S. had done its homework better before choosing this course of action. I'm not commenting on the timing at all - a GOOD attack (most of the world agreeing with the attack and the result) would have been suspicious to me, but a bad one (assuming this turns out to not be adequately justified) is not what I would expect from Clinton. It is far more likely that the case was overstated by overzealous right-wing military types <g> that were tired of the complete lack of concrete action that had followed prior attacks. As of right now, the only "blame" I put on Clinton (pending evidence to the contrary) is that he took bad advice.
