Go look at some of the old stories coming out of the German, Italian
and French press during the 90s.
"What you recall hearing" is not what most of the world was saying. We
had better spin control in the 90s than we have today. For some reason
the American media and the liberal establishment was ignoring the
European press when they criticised our bombing war.

So....what's your point? It still wasn't a total free-for-all as it is
now.
Even our military contractors loved it - the perfect situation for testing
anything they came up with, and stay ahead of whatever Saddam's people
aimed
at us.


When the bomb hits your house it is the same.
I wasn't in favor of this war ... ever. I didn't lie to myself and say
the 1991-2001 part was any less of a war just because we were only
killing them..The tables really turned on 9/11/01 when they
demonstrated we were not untouchable.

I wasn't in favor of it, either. But here's the thing: Some say we ended the
"no fly" phase of the "war" because of U.N. pressure, kids were starving in
Iraq because they couldn't sell their oil blah blah blah. You remember that.
But then, we go to war and ignore what the U.N. and most of the world thinks
about it. Uh oh. Sounds like the U.N. excuse is only useful when convenient.
