How many countries did Bill Clinton strike?

[jackbourassa]

Did he get the permission of their governments as well? Was Milosevic in favor of him bombing the crap out of Yugoslavia? How about the others?

Clinton supporters are only exposing their own hypocricy on this issue and nothing more.

[dionysus]

1. well, yeah. ;)

[ellacott]

2. Didn't he get a resolution against Milosevic?

He didn't get a resolution for the times he dropped the cruise missles on Afghanastan and Sudan. Those were pre-emptive strikes and Repubs derided him and said, No War for Monica and equating it to Wag the Dog.

It later came out that he WAS working on actionable intelligence.

16. Weren't all of these actions either under NATO or the UN? Do you not believe

in these multi-nation actions to attempt to restore peace or eliminate genocide?

[slackmaster]

20. I believe in keeping options open and doing the best one can

Whatever it takes to minimize death and bring real stability with peace and justice for all.

4. Dropping a bomb on a country is not the same as invading it with troops.

[jackbourassa]

5. Ya, and unfortunately for your little bashfest

Obama never advocated invading anything.

[ellacott]

9. There were troops involved in Yugoslavia, Haiti and some of the other countries.

Amazing

[Help me help Earth]

6. I can tell you the one he didn'tstrike.

Rwanda. Now it's happening again in Sudan and the response is much the same.

[ellacott]

8. It definately is

I read somewhere that he said that was his greatest regret. I'm hoping that admission was sincere.

You are right that it's happening again.

[stray cat]

7. Didn't we invade France without Hitlers permission?

[Clintonista2]

23. You miss the point completely

Germany was our enemy, Pakistan is not our enemy. We have enemies within Pakistan, who do not represent the Palistinian state, and Obama wants to kill the patient to cure the disease, via invading/bombing Pakistan.

[Clintonista2]

10. Aren't you the same poster who said "Clinton let Osama get away"?

Don't let the facts get in your way.

[jackbourassa]

21. no

[Bitwit1234]

11. I thought only Democrats/Liberals were allowed to post here.

[ShortnFiery]

13. Yes, but this is the Primary "LONG" Season and Clinton may be synonymous with the DLC

but he's not "The Democratic Party" all wrapped up in one big dawg package. He's made mistakes and we must own up to even our own party's mistakes in order to develop "as a party" in a healthy way. :shrug:

[IndianaJones]

12. Clinton did it! Where am I? nt.

[ShortnFiery]

14. Just because the Republicans have a fettish for "clenis" doesn't make the man "A Saint" nt

[IndianaJones]

15. So he did do it! nt.

[Clintonista2]

22. You think this is bad, check out the "Clinton let Bin Laden go free" thread. NT.

[AtomicKitten]

17. all of them?

[DutchLiberal]

18. No matter how much I disagree with HRC, and with Bush's war in Iraq, Bill was right about Kosovo.

There was genocide going un. Unlike with Iraq, there was a reason to get involved in Kosovo. His mistake is he *didn't* get involved in Rwanda.

[irislake]

19. Read Chomsky

Bill wasn't such and angel and I would think twice about voting for Hill ---- were I American and had I the vote.

But I don't have to worry about that. Only need to make sure "Steve" doesn't become PM again. And I wouldn't trust Michael Ignatief at all. He approved Iraqi invasion and even thought torture was acceptable. Too bad he came back to Canada but at least he didn't become Liberal leader ---- mainly because of his position on Iraq. He wrote big article for The New York Review of Books about how nice it is that America is an Empire --- cuz your foreign policy aims are so purely ethical and good for the world. He beat the drums for Cheney's war along with the NYT and CNN and all the corporate media. Tch!

Ooops got off subject. Read Chomsky's FAILED STATES.
