I never claimed otherwise. Only thing is that for Clinton, push hardly ever came to shove except during the Lewinsky scandal. Kosovo almost reached that point, and Clinton was just about ready to call it off when Milosevic cried uncle.

The issue in the Balkans was FAR more complex than the simplistic explanation you just provided. Lewinsky had NO influence on Clinton's actions there. CJ posted a table that may have gone over you head relative to Clinton's "non appeasing" military action. In the Balkans, the influence came from Russia, the European community's ambivalence, domestic pummelling from republicans...not from Lewinsky.

Slick Will needed to keep his hard on up even after Monica and did so by releasing his macho pressure elsewhere.

CJ, Never said he was a hawk. Just that he wasn't a reflexive appeaser.

You don't want push to become shove. Have you learned nothing under Bush?

To followup on our discussion about INTC and the markets: Qualcomm just upgraded its first quarter profits with expectations they will beat current projections. Xilinx has reaffirmed its bullish guidance and Altera is talking about buying back stock. Again, there is the suggestion the chip market is fairly strong......however, none of the three have their prime business in PCs. In any case, let me know of any news or reading you get that won't compromise your position. TIA.
