didn't Clinton have us in more conflicts than bush?

Question

clinton had us in more places that we didnt belong than bush has we should have never been in bosnia and cosavo (which we are still in) why arent them reported as bad as iraq?

Answer 1

Well, Clinton also set up the situation that allowed 9-11, leading to the Iraq war.

Answer 2

I suppose you could say that, if you consider just the numbers of conflicts. G.W. Bush and his dad both declared war, but in sum, only two real wars, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. Everything Clinton did was reported and criticized at the time. The Iraq war has been going on for a long time and taken more innocent and American military lives than all of the conflicts that Clinton engaged in. In reality, what does anything that Clinton did have to do with the anctics of Bush? Is this some kind of justification? Hiltler killed more people than Bush. why isn't that reported "as bad as iraq"?

Answer 3

So as a Republican, you are stating Bill Clinton is a warhawk, a true American defending freedom and liberty, such as George W Bush has been doing the last 6 years? PLEASE tell me thats what youre saying, so I can use you as a source for all the OTHER Republicans who HAVENT served in the military but still want to send boys off to die, (well except for that ONE Republican, he didnt want to send boys off to die, he LOVED little boys), who constantly bring up how Clinton was a coward, how Clinton was a Draft Dodger, etc.

Or are you just saying all those other Republicans are liars? Or are you actually saying Bush is no better than Clinton in your opinion?

Again, the Republican Theory of Two Wrongs Making It Right.

Answer 4

The US went to Bosnia and Kosovo to stop the genocide and civil wars there as part (and this is important) of a UN or NATO force. These wars had the full backing of the international community who knew that something must be done. They were not conducted by states - so while US troops may be in Kosovo and Bosnia they are officially under the control of the UN and NATO.

Answer 5

well really maybe clinton had more conflicts than bush, but bush is the president now and he is struggling with iraq, and trying to find that sondin binlodin guy ( 9 11 ) and dont you think that is a big conflict to? so basicly they are on the same level of the conflic catorgoreiry.

Answer 6

the bosnia conflict is a NATO/UN thing. we should contribute forces to them. we have bases and store nukes in NATO countries. if clinton had refused to send troops would NATO have been willing to take over in afghanistan? somalia was a UN thing that GHW bush sent troops to. iraq was started by bush as an effort to independently enforce UN rsolutions,without UN approval. afghanistan was a justified invasion,which iran helped with.

Answer 7

Why didn't you belong in Bosnia?For once US did something good with no return pay oppose to Bush invading for no reason and killing innocent.I don't remember americans calling eachother nazi and terrorists under Clinton

Answer 8

Because Clintons very small conflicts did not take that many lives, Bush's war has killed so many soldiers that it is devastating and nothing is getting any better in Iraq, I actually think it is worse.

Answer 9

so you're saying we belong in Iraq?!?! Iraq is the biggest military failure since Vietnam. We and the Iraqi people are actually worse off now than if we had never gone and started this abortion of a war.

Answer 10

you people have got to get over your clinton hatred and start accepting responsibility for the monster you put in office

number one the iraq war has been FAR more deadly, number two there was never a reason for this war, number three Bush lied to America about this war......you should be ashamed for defending that man
