Under which presidency was that? Hmmm... GHWB. As I said, it started
as a roll-back from Kuwait.


The no fly zones had nothing to do with rolling back from Kuwait.
It was all about supporting the Northern Alliance.


Huh? I never said they did. Bush I ordered the attack after Kuwait.
That's when it started. But, of course, Bush is a Republican, so it's
ok.


You said it 6 lines up. The no fly zones had nothing to do with
rolling back from Kuwait.


They did. They started after that in August 1992. Bush I was in
office. The second NFZ started in 1996 under Clinton.

You're going to claim that the NFZ had no relationship to the Kuwait
invasion? Take you're head out of the sand.











Perhaps Bosnia was worth it? Or, do you think ethnic cleansing is
ok...


I am not sure we did much more than postpone the next round of ethnic
cleansing. If we really thought we had fixed anything we would come
home but we have just created another Korea where we keep 50,000
troops to keep people who want to kill each other from killing each
other, basically replacing the Soviets who did that for 45 years.


Really? I guess you haven't been keeping up on the current events. Do
a Google search and get back to us.


Enlighten me. Tell me something different. Are you saying the Soviets
didn't tamp down this 500 year feud? Are you saying it didn't start
back up shortly after they left? We did all celebrate their freedom
from communism, until we figured out what they were going to do with
their freedom.


I'm saying that the Bosnian war was successful in stopping the
genocide.


Do you really think they suddenly are going to let bygones be bygones
and forget the feud? As soon as we leave they will be back at it.


According to you, international and all-things expert.


If there was no ongoing threat, why are we still there?


Never said there was "no threat." I said that we're on a peacekeeping
mission. Try again.


bull****. If Mr. Fretwell said there was no threat then you say there
is one. If he says there is a threat then you challenge him for proof.

D'Plume, you're a moron.
