I was not in Vietnam, Ex-SD was. I was too young, but I respect the hell out of him for his service to his country, and especially in that Godforsaken war.
Clinton did drop more bombs on Iraq during the final two years of his tenure than the USAAC/USAAF dropped on Germany in three and a half years of bombing (1942 – 1945).
Clinton’s sanctions were estimated to have killed 500,000 according to Amnesty International.
Clinton was more interventionist than Bush II. Bush intervened in Afghanistan and Iraq, Clinton intervened in Somalia, Haiti, Kosovo (just to name a few). American involvement in the various UN STABFOR operations in the Balkans alone outpaced Bush II’s interventions.
I did not say that Clinton expended MORE blood and treasure than Bush II. I simply said that Clinton expended a considerable amount of US blood and treasure.
I did not say that No-Fly Zones were a Clinton program. I said that he enforced them.
If you cannot mount a serious defense to an opponent’s argument, simply go away. Do not, however, come back at me with this nonsense.
The ability to look up information on Wikipedia does not a debater make.
I was not setting Bill Clinton up as a strawman; I was arguing that you use strawman arguments. And not particularly well, either.
