Had to dig way back to find this, been looking for hours. The Clinton administration was very concerned about the situation in Iraq, but IMHO not willing to risk intervention. American displeasure has been evident since the end of the gulf war. It was only the Clinton white house that was not concerned. I’m sure you all remember how it was back then, we would hear Monica’s name on the 6pm news, and awake to a new volley of cruise missiles fired at Iraq. Well here is how State felt about the situation in 99/2K
U.S. Department of State 99/00
