In January 1998 Operation Desert Thunder was set in motion with the 3rd Infantry division and the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit ready to land in Iraq. The planes were in the air to start bombing when Sadaam gave in to Clinton's demands at the last minute. Tensions remained high and the result was the bombing of Operation Desert Fox.No link of invading Iraq with the airstrikes as a substitute, pingy.In 1998, Clinton prepared for invading Iraq, but ended up just with a three-day airstrike:When did Bill Clinton ever say we needed to invade Iraq?He invented what Bill Clinton was saying?They don't give a damn about our freedom and prefer we keep it to ourselves. They attacked us for our meddling in the Middle EastYes the did hate our freedom and Still do. We did what we did. Bush devastated the Taliban. He liberated a country. Then Obama came in and screwed it up. You do know that he is sending troops back into Iraq? You know, after he successfully ended that war.

"Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.
Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout the Middle East and around the world.
Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons. "
