Clinton murdered 1000s of people in Iraq? Maybe you mean Bosnia? -- Nom=de=Plume Saddam said about 20,000 died in the "no fly zone" bombings. We denied it but we really didn't have any way to prove him wrong. We were shooting missiles into residential areas to suppress Iraqi radar sites on a pretty regular basis. I have to believe some people died, even if it was just radar operators. I understand Saddam put his people at risk by locating these sites in residential areas but we still shot at them. At a certain point you have to admit these were still acts of war. That is why I say Iraq is an 18 year war, spanning 4 presidents now. That is the kind of record you expects out of 14th century European monarchies I wouldn't believe Saddam on most anything. He actually lied about the WMDs, I guess mostly to keep the Iranians at bay. You also have to believe they were killing someone with the thousand or so HARMs they fired over that 10 year silent war. I do, but not thousands of innocent people. -- Nom=de=Plume |
