Kosovo = Left Somalia = Right Bill Clinton initiated military action against as many countries as George W. Bush. If you count lobbing missles at a Pepto Bismol factory in Sudan, he's +1.
1.Bosnia wasn't a unilateral movement that we went at alone. NATO with the US military in a main role went in and took care of business with a good plan. Case closed.
2. The factory getting blown up that had been out of the hands of actual terrorist is a reflection of the very poor intel, which is likely related to the budget cuts Clinton made. Also, it was in Afghanistan where the failed missile attacks on OBL took place which is another example of the very poor intel. Now do you see why it IS important to have a good grasp on who is attacking you and why?
President Bush Sr. is to blame for terrorist actions against Americans.
1. Bush Sr. placed our military in Saudi Arabia, which is what directly led to the 9/11 attacks.
IMO, Clinton and Dubbya are dealing with what was left for them for them from Bush Sr not getting re-elected to clean up after himself. Clinton failed by cutting back on our military, which was cutting our own necks. Bush failed by not directly combating WHO attacked us. But, I do hand it to Dubbya for taking the fight to Iraq rather than in America, and for taking out Saddam and sons at the same time. It's just not fair to the average Iraqi, but hopefully democracy sticks and they are better off as a whole.

I feel badly for this lady, and she has her freedom of speech thanks to people like her son. BUT, her stance on the war has done a 180 since his death.
