"Monica Bombing Raids" This administration has since seen fit to launch missiles at curious propinquity to the release of damaging grand jury information. On June 30, 1998, U.S. District Court Judge Susan Webber Wright ordered Mr. Clinton's perjurious deposition in the Paula Jones case be made public. Later that day, a United States F-16 fighter jet fired on an Iraqi radar site for the first time since jets did so in November 1996, one day before the presidential election. On August 20, 1998, Monica Lewinsky testified before the federal grand jury about how the president had encouraged her to continue denying their relationship and to submit a false affidavit. Later that day, on August 20, 1998, Clinton ordered the attack on "terrorist facilities" in Sudan and Afghanistan. Not only were the Joint Chiefs of Staff not consulted in any meaningful way prior to the attack, it has since been revealed that a medicine factory that was claimed by the administration to be making nerve gas was actually just a medicine factory. With evidence now gathered since the bombing, it is certain the attack was, at best, a poorly planned military exercise and at worst a multi-million dollar deadly diversion. After it became clear in the afternoon of December 16th that the President would be impeached, the bombing raid on Iraq began. Clinton said the bombing was necessary and that waiting even for a few days or weeks would have allowed Saddam Hussein to move his weapons and military to avoid attack. President Clinton declared that his advisors unanimously backed the attack, but the Washington Times reported that "senior Pentagon officers expressed great skepticism ... about the raids. This source said that the White House eagerness to launch air strikes grew with intensity as a parade of centrist Republicans announced they would vote to impeach the president." georgiapolitics.com * * *
