1. The sanctions against Iraq were enacted buy the UN security council in 1990 and 1991, again BEFORE Clinton took office. In other words, this happened on the watch of Bush I, and it was a **UN** sanction. So, yeah, attributing it to Clinton is false.
2. The 500,000 number is suspect, and some random article in counterpunch.org is not an authoritative reference on the matter. Check wikipedia for a more complete discussion. They have numbers and real references ranging from 170,000 and up for the 10 year period. Again, this is NOT a Clinton matter. False again.
3. Tonnage of bombs greater than WW2? False. You say the counterpunch article “speaks to” the bombing campaign. Yeah,it mentions the campaign but says nothing about how large it was compared to WW2. So are wrong yet again.
