Yeah, the operation was quite clearly meant to destabilize Iraq if anything. I wonder however why you consider this a low point of Clinton, the mission was very short lived and didn't have much of an impact. I considered it more of a continuation of the earlier 1996 bombings.

Earlier today, I ordered Americas armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraqs nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.

Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout theMiddle East and around the world.

Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighborsor the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons.
Didn't have an much of an impact? He set the precedent for the 2003 invasion.

Can't argue with that as I don't know what they were thinking or planning at the time. Clinton was more during my early childhood so I'm not that familiar with him, liked this interview though, by no means a dumb man (but very opportunistic I reckon);




If I look at what the other presidents have done, I'd say that compared to most in the last century he did pretty decent. My knowledge is a bit lacking though, but definitely wouldn't call him the worst of the past 50 years.
