U.S. Strikes Iraq for Plot to Kill Bush<br />By David Von Drehle and R. Jeffrey Smith<br />Washington Post Staff Writers<br />Sunday, June 27, 1993; Page A01<br /><br />U.S. Navy ships launched 23 Tomahawk missiles against the headquarters of the Iraqi Intelligence Service yesterday in what President Clinton said was a "firm and commensurate" response to Iraq's plan to assassinate former president George Bush in mid-April....
Cute, trying to bash Bush for
Clinton's retaliation for WTC attack number one. after all, CLINTON should've "went after Sadamn" himself. But nooo. Let's not make any waves over there.<br /><br />
Whoa, hold yer fire there, 12footer, it's no bash of any Bush to set the record straight about what some other pres did or didn't do. Just the facts. When somebody mistakenly claims that a particular president did nothing, it needs correcting. Facts. In fact I don't believe that particular president had the mandate of all those other countries, I think he made that decision on his own without any help from the UN or the BBC or whoever. <br /><br />
Bush #41 was pressured by you guys to pull-out...If it weren't for ACLL, WPO, the UN and ...
He pulled out. He did. It's a fact. We can blame the whole danged alphabet, won't change the facts. Commander in chief, yup. Takes orders from whom? His decision. I can't judge whether it was the right decision or not, but it was his. Yep.<br /><br />[also please note that Clinton retaliated for a assination attempt on former president Bush's life; Saddam was not linked to or suspected in the 1st WTC bombing.]
