1. Funny.. the threats, embargoes, and occasional bombings did WHAT?
Let's try this again: During the Clinton administration's program of enforcing the No-fly zones etc...what was the negative outcome? Did Iraq attack someone? Did they invade another country? Did they gas their own people?
The negative outcome is because we looked like pussies, other countries started taking more hard line stances against us and extremist terror organizations decided the time was ripe to take advantage... You don't show strength by taking weak stances
Lol...you honestly believe that enforcing the no-fly zone made extremists like AQ view us as weak?
The negative outcome is that there was no real enforcement...
Clinton - Uhhh Saddam, you did it again...
Saddam - We won't do it any more
Clinton - Uhhh Saddam, you did it again... so here's some embargos and sanctions
Saddam - We won't do it any more
Clinton - Uhhh Saddam, you did it again and he's a cruise missile on a small target
Saddam - We won't do it again
Clinton - Uhhh Saddam, you are not allowing inspections per the agreement and you violated the no-fly again
Saddam - We won't do it any more
Clinton - Uhhhh Saddam, you're still doing it
Saddam - We won't do it any more
Clinton - Uhhh Saddam, you're still doing it and here's another cruise missile
Saddam - We won't do it any more
The negative outcome is the violations of the cease fire which the cease-fire was the ONLY thing that stopped the military action the first time.... it did hurt our image on national security... making us look like pussies.... which hurt us in the long run... we did look weak in the eyes of our enemies and those who wish to do us harm... ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY
OK...you keep telling yourself that by consistently enforcing a no-fly zone created shortly after we utterly decimated a foreign army within days and with very limited US casualties, we made ourselves look weak.
Run with that in 2010.
