Absolutely nowhere in any of those articles, does it mention Clinton wishing or planning for a full scale military invasion. The articles mentions airstrikes, but it doesnt saying anything about a land invasion (i.e ground troops). Anybody in the military will tell you that you cannot invade a country without troops on the ground. You are simply twisting the stated facts into order to fit your political opinion. How about providing an articles where Clinton mentions or suggests a full scale invasion WITH ground troops and then I'll acknowledge your point. |

I hate to say it but MMarsh has it absolutely right. I went back and read every word of every one of the references you have posted, and
NOWHERE in
ANY of them does it say that Clinton was planning to put troops on the ground in Iraq.
THUS HE WASN'T PLANNING ON INVADING IRAQ. The closest it even came to stating Clinton was even planning
ANY attacks, was when
airstrikes were mentioned as a means of forcing Saddam to comply with the 'No Fly Zones' and the Weapon's Inspectors.
The closest you can even get to anything that could even be mistaken as pre-invasion plans, was Clinton's direction to his people to raise the concern that Saddam had Weapons of Mass Destruction ... this was done to garner public support if/and when airstrikes against Iraqi targets were ordered.
As MM said 'When you can provide an article where Clinton mentions or suggests a full scale invasion
WITH ground troops, and then I'll acknowledge your point'. (Paraphrased).
