You are the one who defines "war" as "troops on the ground".
I am just trying to understand that.
We blockaded Iraq, denied them the use of the air space over their
country with deadly force and killed a lot of innocent civilians.
All of those things are acts of war.
You prefer the "death from the air" method of warfare. In 1940 they
called that "The Blitz"
You are only upset that we actually put some of our people at risk by
taking the next logical step.

Sorry, but you're way off base on this. It's not reasonable to equate
the
two countries.

I am not equating the two wars or the two countries, only pointing out
bombing someone is an act of war. You don't think it is a war unless
we have boots on the ground.

I never said that. I said that the only time we actually had troops on the
ground in Iraq was during Bush I.

Implying that Clinton was not at war with Iraq.

It wasn't a ground war. No implication or otherwise.
