    That is pretty disingenuous. I see two bombing campaigns and one airstrike. Aside from that, it appears all the military deployments were...peaceable. Perhaps Denny is unintentionally trying to support Clinton?

    Really?

    He accused Saddam Hussein of having WMDs. Boy was he wrong!



    He bombed Afghanistan and Sudan. We didn't declare war on those countries.

    He bombed Iraq several times.

    He put 20,000 boots on the ground in Haiti.

    He bombed Serbia for weeks.

    That's two bombing campaigns and an airstrike?

    He used military force plenty.

    We still have troops in Kosovo.

    "Deliberate Force".
    "Desert Fox".
    8/20/98 airstrikes in Sudan/Afghanistan.

    Yep, that's pretty much what I pointed out.

    You can pretend the rest didn't happen, sure. Why admit these three?

    I'm not pretending the rest didn't happen. I'm saying the rest seem pretty peaceable to me. Perhaps the Haiti embargo, but I don't view embargoes as acts of war.

    What other items on that list would you classify as war-like?

    I know that, it's not the point though, the point is we have had troops in old war zones a lot longer than Kosavo..once we get our troops involved in a war, we tend to not leave.

    So... It would not be so bad to still have troops in Iraq? Afghanistan?

    I'm consistent in that I want all the troops home from everywhere.

    Ha! At least Bill knew he should try! Hilary just turns her back and says "What difference does it make". The finds some poor smuck on YouTube that made a rotten video to blame.

    We do have constitutional obligations due to treaties we agreed to.

    NATO being the obvious one.

    It's ok to respond to agression, but it's another thing to pull strings with NATO so your warmongering is "legit."

    I'm pretty sure Clinton used troops, regardless. US troops on foreign soil with weapons and rules of engagement.

    LOL indeed.
