Clinton tried to go to war with Iraq but he was scared off by a townhall meeting. So they gave up that idea and just continued killing 50,000 + Iraqi babies a year (according to Islamist and leftwing propaganda anyway). His secretary of state stupidly said publicly that was a price she was willing to pay. October 4, 1996: United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) releases report on Iraq. "Around 4,500 children under the age of five are dying here every month from hunger and disease," said Philippe Heffinck, UNICEF's representative for Iraq.gopher://gopher.unicef.org/00/.cefdata/.prgva96/prgva35 ..... October 6, 1998: Denis Halliday, who had just resigned as the head of the "oil-for-food" program for Iraq, Assistant Secretary General of the UN, gives a speech on Capitol Hill, citing a "conservative estimate" of "child mortality for children under five years of age is from five to six thousand per month." Halliday states: "There are many reasons for these tragic and unnecessary deaths, including the poor health of mothers, the breakdown of health services, the poor nutritional intake of both adults and young children and the high incidence of water-born diseases as a result of the collapse of Iraq's water and sanitation system -- and, of course, the lack of electric power to drive that system, both crippled by war damage following the 1991 Gulf War." (See remarks, www.accuracy.org/halliday.htm) ...On the program that aired May 12,1996, she asked the United Nations Ambassador to explain U.S. policy in the context of the devastation she had seen among the children of Iraq. Ms. Albright responded: "It's a hard decision, Leslie, but we think the price . . . is worth it." ameu.org ... In a 1996 60 Minutes interview, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was asked about dying Iraqi children. "Well, this is a price that we feel that we are willing to pay," she answered. impactpress.com But don't think the massive campaign to brand America responsible for killing all those Iraqi children and Madeline Albright's stupid comment had any negative public reaction in the ME. No, everyone in the ME and the whole world loved America before the reign of Bush. Just ask a liberal.
