Answer 7

why did bill clinton bomb iraq on numerous occasions saying saddam had WMD...?

Answer 8

they didnt invade dumb ***...they tried to stop the genocide and killing....they were doing a GOOD thing

Answer 9

Because peace is warranted only if nations are peaceful. Get it? So if some one goes and start killing people like in Bosnia which was another Genocide don't you think it is prudent to have some intervention? I think so. No matter who is the Commander in Chief they better be willing to use Military strength when those who cannot defend them selves are in trouble.

Answer 10

I remember reading that insiders were saying that Clinton wanted to be a wartime president.

So, perhaps that was his excuse to get his little war, and get his little legacy.

.

Answer 11

They just say it to get the hippie, treehugging, peace lovers votes. Its all politics

Answer 12

Well actually Bosnia was the only time the US used military force while Clinton was president,

That Clinton had authorization for.

It was under a UN Resolution.

But Clinton attacked, invaded or bombed:

Iraq, Afghanistan, Haiti, Kosavo, Serbia and Sudan

All without Congressional or UN approval.

Answer 13

The Clinton Admn and Gen Wesley Clark stitched together a coalition of able nations to end the genocide in the Balkan nations the comprised the former Yugoslavia.

When the Iron Curtain fell and Yugoslav strongman Marshal Tito died, Serbia which controled the former Yugslavian Army stood back and either allowed - or in some cases, assisted ethcnic  Serbs from killing other ethnic groups in places like Kosovo, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The UN forces that Clinton organized - and led by General Wesley Clark effectively ended the genocide and stabilized the region with deft precision

Answer 14

because at the core, democrats and liberals are hypocrites

Answer 15

LOL!!!  Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!  LOL!!!  Those Democrats...  They will say anything for a vote.  But what is even funnier than that, is that some people actually believe them.  LOL!!!

Answer 16

LOL, haha those Republicans believe what ever they are told, including that iraq had weapons of mass destruction, haha. And they actually believe that the troops are actually defending their country when the real reason is to take iraq's oil.

Answer 17

Now that is a very confused question.

Okay, go to your information window, and type in "The Croatian War".

Read it.

Now type in "The Bosnian War".

Read about it, from the Wikipedia site.

Pay attention to the fact that while "ethnic cleansing" was going on in Croatia, The American General Wesley Clarke did nothing, and recommended no actions to the president. NATO countries, desperately trying to stop atrocities, found themselves without air cover .

Research "Battle of the Medak Pocket".

Now, into Bosnia.

The war there dragged on for many years, with the worst cases of genocide to happen in Europe since WWII. Understrength NATO units tried valiantly to stop these actions, through blocking the fire of both sides with theirselves, and the setup of "safe havens".

And Wesley Clarke did nothing.

Finally, to The Netherlands' shame, they did not resist the invasion of the Sebrenica safe haven. Thousands of muslim men and boys were murdered for the sake of ethnic cleansing. The media finally woke up and did better reporting, featuring this massacre, as well as concentration camps full of starving prisoners.

Finally, world outrage forced Bill Clinton to act, but only with air strikes. Without supplies, and through Russian influence, the Serbians and Bosnian Serbs surrendered and the war ended. Wesley Clarke became the only American general in the history of NATO to be fired for incompetence.

There is your answer. Clinton, although late, did finally take action to stop genocide. Carter did not. He allowed the "Killing Fields" to continue in Cambodia, as the Khmer Rouge tried to exterminate their own middle and upper class. Some democrats can learn, but evidently some can not.

Answer 18

democrats arent necessarily the peace party...we do go to war BUT FOR RIGHT REASONS if you want a war free zone go green party
