42. I guess you missed the part about the GOP -controlled Congress...
...tell me what Clinton could have done at ANY point in his presidency to eliminate the sanctions.

It simply did not matter what anyone thought in the Executive Branch from 1992-2000 because the Legislative Branch was driving the train. Even the input Clinton got from the Pentagon was heavily in favor of doing far more than just imposing the UN sanctions. IMHO, anyone saying that Clinton could have successfully dropped the sanctions is either terribly naive or deliberately obtuse.

And no, I haven't forgotten the deaths of anyone involved in this sorry chapter of American history, least of all the Iraqi children. That was nothing but a cheap shot on your part.
