Obama Bin Laden, ooops, sorry, Osama Bin Laden will die an old man of natural causes. Far too many make far too much money not to catch him. The old approach of fly in, bomb the targets and leave was a far better policy than occupation. THe west hasn't got the politicial guts to win this war for many of the same reasons as Vietnam. Sorry, scheisskopf, you cannot win these wars by "bombing the targets." Of course, you can't win these wars with occupation, either. This is a new age...we're not fighting centralized, industrial, western-like powers in that part of the world. They were living as they lived 500 years ago before we got there, and they'll be living that way long after we leave. In Afghani-like scenarios, the military is...obsolete. -- If you are flajim, herring, loogy, GC boater, johnson, topbassdog, rob, achmed the sock puppet, or one of a half dozen others, you're wasting your time by trying to *communicate* with me through rec.boats, because, well, you are among the permanent members of my dumbfoch dumpster, and I don't read the vomit you post, except by accident on occasion. As always, have a nice, simple-minded day. |

Perhaps I need to clarify, Clinton was popular but his Iraq policy was roundly rebuked. There were protesters in the street all over Europe. Most of the EU was defying the embargo. His containment policy worked pretty well, although it was starting to weaken toward the end of his second term. It was a heck of a lot better than what came next though. -- Nom=de=Plume |

You are admitting the "containment" strategy was failing, thanks for being honest. The reality is, when the EU abandoned the embargo and Saddam threw out the inspectors, the containment was more rhetoric than reality. What would your next step going to be if we didn't put boots on the ground there? Basically it was either getting out or going in. We were running out of excuses to keep bombing Iraqi civilians in the name of saving the Kurds and the coup we wanted out of them wasn't going to happen. I'm admitting no such thing. I said "weakening," which means it could have been strenthened if Bush has the desire to try. Saddam also let the inspectors back in, but that wasn't good enough for warmonger Bush. My next step? I wasn't the president, and there was no threat to the US. Israel certainly could and can take care of itself. He wasn't invading anyone. Yet again, you're revising history. Bush said nothing about the poor Iraqi people until the WMD bs wouldn't float any more. The Kurds has a very secure area with Saddam contained. He did nothing to them leading up to the invasion. He gassed them in 1988... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,190446,00.html. -- Nom=de=Plume |

I said, "with Saddam contained." Thus Clinton was ensuring the Kurds' continued security. I am not here to defend Bush, he was wrong. My question is why didn't Clinton get us out of there? Saddam was clearly slipping away from containment and without an effective embargo we really didn't have any way to contain him without more military action. Because the containment was still working. It's unclear if other means could be used to continue to thwart Saddam's greater designs on the region. We didn't get a chance to try ala Bush. -- Nom=de=Plume |
