Some would, but most probably wouldn't.

Well I believe the Republicans would have supported Bill Clinton in Iraq, but I believe Clinton was smart enough to stay out in the first place, respecting the previous President's (that is the father of our current President) decision that Iraq was to complicated to go in the first Place. George H Bush made the right decision back in the first Gulf War and Bill Clinton basically supported that view.

Republicans don't support occupation of Iraq.
Iraq needs to be a democratic-republic. They would prefer that.
If Bill Clinton were president, he would just bomb every mosque and bridge from 30,000 feet --- a re-run of Serbia. An event that we didn't read about in the NY Times. Halliburton got the no-bid contract to rebuild that destruction, too.

I sincerely doubt it. The Repubs were outraged when Clinton fired missiles at Bin Laden while he was in Afghanistan in retaliation for Al Qaeda's bombing of our embassies in Africa. They were also reluctant to support Clinton's sending of troops into Yugoslavia. I have heard some Repubs answer this question and they all said of course we would support the war just as much if Clinton were President, but their past actions speak volumes.
They would be doing all that they can to prevent Clinton from succeeding in Iraq, since the war is so unpopular.

Clinton had PLENTY of chances to do something about terrorists. He CHOSE to do nothing, which encouraged them to make ever bolder attacks. If Clinton was still president, we would not be in Iraq. But we would have a helluva lot more domestic attacks than we have had under Bush.
The only times Clinton used the military was to distract the press from his Oval Office escapades.

Hell, no. They'd be screaming their heads off just like they did in Kosovo. A quote from someone you know:
"A spokeswoman for Texas Gov. George W. Bush, the GOP favorite in early polls, said he believes "that if we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy."

Yes. They support the oil companies, not Bill Clinton.

They wouldn't even support Bill occupying Monica, no way they'd let him occupy a whole country.

All other factors the same? You bet. Although I really doubt that Clinton would have because he ran his administration by the polls instead of what he believed was right.

No. They would accuse him of nation building and then bring the government to a standstill in another budget battle.
