I was referring to the President himself. In the debates he specifically brought this point up and he criticized Clinton for exactly the same thing he is doing now. Now if others feel attacked by this well I am sorry if pointing this out offends.

Fyron please don't accuse me of Partisan politics. I have never read a single line written by you that strays from mainline Republican policies.

The President, that is GWB, was referring to the LACK of commitment by then President Clinton. Clinton tied the hands of the military and was not committed to the effort for which he had committed troops.

If you do not believe me, just ask any military or peace keeping officer who was there. They utterly hated Bill Clinton’s politics.

I can look up the transcripts of the debate . . . and we can parse words. All I know is that GWB meant that the US should not get involved in any nation building.

What lack of commitment are you talking about - can you be more specific. Kosovo and Haiti were the only adventures that Clinton got us into and they were relative successes.

By all means look up the transcript. The lack of commitment that I am refering to is the fact that President Clinton would send troops, but the tie there hands politically so that they could do nothing to stop the atrocities they were witnessing. Again, just ask those who were there, and they will all tell you that they could have done more, but were prevented from doing so.

As far as nation building goes, Clinton did not declare war upon those nation, and did not send in troops to conquer them. With Iraq, we did conquer them, therefore under the articles of war, we must assist them in rebuilding.

Not to discount your views, but you have a lot to learn about how to communicate with poeple. You are far to argumentative and to me you appear to be out looking for a fight to justify your point of view. Just discuss the topic, don't declar war over it.
