The old approach of fly in, bomb the targets and leave was a far better

The problem with that is it accomplishes nothing and alienates

By the end of the "bomb them from orbit" Clinton administration we had
lost the respect of most of the world. That is why the Iraq sanctions
were failing.


Again with the revisionist history lesson?? Clinton was hugely popular both
here and abroad. He remains so. It's Bush who lost the world's respect for
the US.
