re:"Clinton reached a diplomatic agreement with NK which stopped they nuke production" Without the agreement, Clinton would have bombed North Korea's reactors. How smart was it to not include uranium enrichment in the original agreement...unless, the agreement included uranium enrichment too, and North Korea was cheating (pretty much, all along). re:"Clinton's attacks on Iraq are the same type that Jr. does every day, ie draw fire and wipe out radar stations..... " Hardly. "Cohen said U.S. forces attacked about 100 targets over four nights, adding, "We concentrated on military targets, and we worked very hard to keep civilian casualties as low as possible. Our goal was to weaken Iraq's military power, not to hurt Iraq's people." To that end, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Henry H. Shelton said Air Force combat forces shined throughout the operation. According to his tally, American and British war planes flew more than 650 strike and strike-support sorties. Air Force B-52s launched more than 90 cruise missiles, and U.S. ships launched more than 325 Tomahawk cruise missiles against almost 100 targets." In addition, Desert Fox saw the combat debut of the B-1B Lancer. During their sorties aircrews dropped 500-pound conventional bombs onto Iraqi targets" fas.org
