Are you surprised that Clinton turned out to be such a superior commander-in-chief to Bush?

Question

The Bosnian campaign went off nearly flawlessly while the Iraqi campaign...

Well I'll let you judge for yourself how that's been going.

Answer 1

Actually yes, I am surprised. I was much harder and critical of Clinton than it turned out was appropriate.

Answer 2

You are incorrect in your facts, please let me inform you...

We are still in Bosnia and have not heard the screams of the Liberal media concerning this fact. The Clinton admin also killed many people and effectively starved whole cities during the dead of winter without any outrage from the decadent and corrupt members of the UN. The only difference is that Clinton is a Democrat and could do just about anything with minimal media scrutiny (including slamming women against the wall and groping them in the whitehouse).

You also completely miss the fact that it was a very small number of people killed in Bosnia compared to the atrocities committed by Saddam Hussein. Back then we all heard about stopping "Genocide in Bosnia" but Saddam apparently gets a pass from you, right?

Iraq is also pivotal in the war on terror for another reason: Iran wants to dominate the entire middle east, unless you missed that.
Iranian "President" Ahmadinijad has said that if he can attain a nuclear weapon he will wipe Israel off the map, and then the US will be next. This is not a problem to you?

I wonder how you will feel if we leave and a new level of genocide occurs that eclipses Bosnia yet again--will you squeal and yell that President Hillary should help them, or will you simply sit by and let it all happen as fuel prices skyrocket and our country is sent into the next Great Depression.

I would try to learn a bit more and also look past your own nose to the near future.

Answer 3

And exactly how did the Somalian campaign go for Mr.Clinton?Try watching the real stories of Black Hawk Down.Suddenly,he doesn't look so superior.Somalia was/is a small country which our troops would have freed from the warlords had Clinton pulled the troops out of there quicker than he did from Monica Lewinsky's mouth(couldn't help that one,sorry).And that country is still in a state of civil war.Pretty superior,alright.You should have done a little studying before making comparisons without using all facts available.
And have I mentioned Oklahoma City,Waco,Ruby Ridge and the WTC bombings that occured under his watch?.Clinton was an ****** interested in screwing or getting some head from every trailer park queen he could find as much as he was protecting the country.Superior?Not on his best day!

Answer 4

First off just because the Iraqi campaign has taken longer, that doesn't mean we are losing; second, What were the campaigns Clinton involved us in even for? Third, Clinton was rather amoral, both in his adulterous liaison with Monica, and in his stealing from social security to get his "surplus". I'm not saying Bush is a paragon of virtue, I disavow both parties, but he's not the superior president you are painting him. Oh, and what you will probably say, "Why do Americans like him better then?" Because we as a country are followers, and will chase after whatever looks the flashiest.

Answer 5

As history is unfolding, We are finding through the superior leadership of the Clinton years we actually embolden the radical fundamentalist to grow and strike at us. The defeat in Somalia proved to Osama that we would withdraw when the left follows polls. 1993 the first world trade center, we launched some cruise missiles at empty tents. We then proceeded to gut the military, our embassies were under attack world wide, the U.S.S Cole was attacked and Saddam was allowed to continually disregarded the UN. Also during this time Osama was planning and preparing for 9/11.

Answer 6

What did Clinton do in Bosnia. He put American troops under the command of a foreign commander. the troop were under NATO command.So how was Clinton their Commander in chief? Why did we go to Bosnia?WE went there to remove a dictator who was committing genocide . He was killing parts of his own people. It was a civil war, Christians against Muslims. why did we go to Iraq? To remove some one who was doing the same thing. He was committing genocide of his own people. The difference is we did not put our troops under foreign commanders. , Not NATO or UN. Yes we are not doing as good as we should. How would we as Americans react if Bosnia had gone the same way as Iraq. Would the Democrats be yelling cut & run ? NO. They would be blaming NATO because Bosina is a DEmocrat war

Answer 7

I don't think either of them were superior commanders in chief.......the Bosnian campaign didn't have the press coverage that Iraq gets........Also many of the people complain about the contract workers in Iraq....and it was made into an election issue.....about Halliburton and KBR....well Clinton is the one who downsized the miltary and started outsourcing everything......

Answer 8

what the hell are u talking about?? The terrorists worked on the world trade center 2 times during his rein, our ships were attacked and that wimp did nothing. The only reason that we went to Bosnia was to distract the press from his BJ scandal. Get off the drugs dude and get a life.

Answer 9

Both Bosnia and Somolia were UN operations, the difference being that the Us had command in the early part of the Bosnian operation, and we were just trying to keep our butt out of the fire in Somolia.
BTW it was because of the Somalia operation that we did not go into Rwanda or Sudan!

Answer 10

He was great. He had all intentions of going to Iraq, except he went from Commander-in-Chief to Pimp-in-Chief and could accomplish nothing because of his personal life. Yeah, he may have been the best President ever! Yeah.

Answer 11

You have to take a stand for your country to be considered Commander and Chief . Running away from your Enemies will not get you that title.
