36. Responses to the slams on Clinton...
1. Dismantling of welfare benefits:

What was Clinton supposed to do? He could have vetoed the legislation but the GOPers had the votes...including a good number of Dems in Congress....to override the veto.

2. The sanctions against Iraq

The sanctions against Iraq were started by the UN when Bush I was President. Again, how was Clinton supposed to end the sanctions with Congress and the Pentagon aligned against him?

3. The bombing of Baghdad:

As I recall, the bombing was done at night against unoccupied government buildings with highly accurate cruise missiles in retaliation for previous Iraqi actions. Unlike FratBoy, Clinton actually employed methods that minimized the loss of life.

Yes, Cynthia, this is ALL about ABB. What alternative do any of us really have? If we don't get the NeoCons out of the centers of American power, we will really see what FratBoy is capable of doing. At least Kerry is capable of rational thought.
