"And for all of you out there who feel what this miserable president did was right, switch the parties around and honestly ask yourselves how you would feel if Clinton had done the same thing. And if you can't be honest with yourselves, recall what the right said when Clinton last sent missiles to Baghdad. If you can't remember, the right claimed back then he only did it to boost his favorable ratings."

For weeks now I've been doing as you suggest and imagining it was the democrats in power with Clinton amassing the troops.  I keep coming back to how we wouldn't be in this mess if Clinton had not squandered the coalition he assumed office with and hadn't backed down when our inspectors were first turned away. 

The 'missiles to Baghdad' were actually missiles for Monica more than anything else.   So sad.
