120. Clinton called them the Unholy Axis
Clinton said the US stands in opposition to the "reckless acts of outlaw nations" and an "unholy axis" of terrorists, drug dealers, and organized crime. While the US would greatly prefer a diplomatic solution to the crisis, Clinton reiterated that the US is ready to use force.

US Vice-President Al Gore said the US is "working around the clock to pursue a possible diplomatic solution to the crisis," but warned "When it comes to protecting our vital national interests, Americans will stand as one."

Force can never be the first answer, but sometimes it's the only answer," Clinton said.

------------------------

To me it sounds like same old same old from politicians in general.
We need to figure out perhaps a little deeper into who is promoting all this - or we need to figure out if both clinton and bush have more access to information we do and things really are as bad as they paint.

Eight years of Clinton, 5+ of bush, and the message has been almost the same on iraq and iran. The question is - why?
