Hello Kurt,

 DD>> Most of the problem today leads from USofA taking out Saddam leaving a
 DD>> power vacuum that ISIL have risen to fill.

 KW> Bush 41 and his team had the forethought to leave Baghdad as-is. Not sure
 KW> what the thinking was in the interim.

Bill Clinton thought he could contain Saddam Hussein by enforcing
a no-fly zone over the entire country of Iraq.  Along with an
economic embargo that deprived Iraqi men, women and children of
needed food, pharmaceuticals, and other necessities of life.

When it came to Kosovo, Clinton sought to have combat
troops on the ground in order to repel Serbian occupation.
But the Joint Chiefs of Staff objected, testifying to the
Congress that a minimum of 500,000 combat troops would be
needed, which would be unacceptable.  As a result, Clinton
backed off, and decided on an air campaign, led by General
Wesley Clark.  For 73 days, air strikes were conducted
against Serbia, forcing the Serbian dictator to withdraw
his troops from Kosovo.

No US lives were lost in that campaign.

George W. Bush decided he needed a bigger war than the
one he had in Afghanistan in order to win a second term
in office.  So he started a war in Iraq, a country that
had absolutely nothing to do with the events of 9-11.
GWB also failed to find the WMD he claimed he knew
existed in Iraq.  But no matter.  The Joint Chiefs of
Staff had no problem testifying to the Congress that
if it was okay with George, it was okay with them.

When Clinton lied, nobody died.
When Bush lied, thousands died.

Tell me which president had the higher morals -
The president who got a blowjob from an intern?
Or the president who sent thousands of Americans
to their deaths for a fucking lie?
