Neocon, I know that you are one of the supporters of our involvement in Yugoslavia. However, just like Senator John McCain (R-NM), you are disgusted with the poor management of this war. Yesterday on the floor of the Senate, John McCain shocked everyone when he blew up and said "The President is deter- mined to lose this war". He is right. What comes as a surprise to me is that some people actually believe that Clinton set out to win. He was only concerned about his poll numbers. You might notice that Clinton has lost every military confrontation that he has been involved with. Consider; Somalia; Clinton orders our humanitarian aid mission to go on the offensive, capture warlord Adid. The result was 18 dead Army Rangers and a pullout. Iraq; Clinton has now caused the USCOM weapons team to be thrown out of Iraq. Saddam's weapons program now in full swing. Sudan; Clinton orders the bombing of a "chemical weapons" plant. A UN investigation team proves that no weapons were produced at the plant. Afghanistan; Clinton orders the bombing of "inter- national terrorist" Osama Bin Laden. Not only does he miss the guy, but he kills a lot of innocent by- standers. I could go on and on. The fact remains, Bill Clinton has lost every military confrontation he has been involved in. It would take a miracle for Clinton to win in Yugoslavia now. -John
