Really? Of course Clinton made some policy mistakes, most notably NAFTA, but we never were in a extreme recession rapidly becoming a major depression. And torture was not a policy of this nation at that time. I think the number of soldiers dead from combat during his two terms was less than 100. And the debt ratio to GNP was actually declining. Your statement is simply an adult version of "you're one two".[/QUOTE]
no, tea sipping was his policy,, how many soldiers died in the Kobart towers? how many died on the Cole, and all the while bubba got his blow jobs..then there was 9-11,, 9-11 happened cause bubba did nothing. kinda like Nero he fiddled while rome burned.
As far as the Cole attack goes, that was at the very end of Clinton's last term, and was up to Bush to decide how and who to retaliate against for it.
Fundimental failure here was in misreading the success of the Marshal plan as planning success from DC back in the 40's. The Marshal plan succeeded on local terms, rather than on terms from DC. Germany did very well under Adenauer. Britain suffered horribly under Attlee. Japan recovered real fast once McArthur went to Korea.
We really should have had better people ready to organize things from an Iraqi point of view from day one. And I do think they should have had a more federal structure, with de facto independence for the Kurds.
No matter what happened, running the show from DC is always a mistake. Especially here.
We cannot do for Iraq what we did for Japan and Germany.
We don't have many homegrown American industries left to betray like we had back in the 40s and 50s and 60's.

My friend, who is an ex FBI agent and a big right winger, called me the other night because he is going back to Iraq for a second tour of duty. We were talking about Iraq, and he says, "You know the Iraqis all told me they were better off under Saddam. In fact some of the Iraqis even say, 'Bring back, Saddam!' "
I was actually shocked to hear this. I didn't think it was that bad.
bullshit---the policies all started years ago---get off your damn partisan bs
16 years? Who started the war in Iraq? Who organized private corporations to go over to Iraq and help build infrastructure? Who spent all of this money on the war in Iraq?
Not the Clinton administration.
Do you favor people like Saddam Hussein to remain dictator? That's the only positive of the war with Iraq (disposing of him and the government and replacing it with a proper functional one). After all, how many palaces did Saddam built at expense of the Iraqi people?
Why would the United Nation allow such a man, along with countless other dictators found around the world to stay in power? Why is the same United Nation allow genocides to occur without pulling a trigger to stop it? Why were there concentration camp in the 1990s in the watchful eyes of outside media and the UN doing absolutely nothing to curtail it? We are the number one suppliers of funds to the United Nations. Yet they can't keep guys like Saddam Hussein to dictators in Africa and around the world from ruining the lives of millions of people. What is the objective of the UN? Inefficient use of American taxpayers and other factors? If the United Nations actually did its job and prevented scum bags like the one we removed from Baghdad, Saddam, we wouldn't have been in the war in the first place. So now why are we putting money in the United Nations? Because it is our obligations to? If they aren't stopping genocides, dictators, then who is?
well, if it was, i didn't see it.
thanks for your courtesy. i'm deeply touched.
