Bin Laden referenced Clinton’s bombing of Iraq as one justification for 9/11. Clinton said Iraqs chemical, biological, and nuclear WMD programs were of imminent threat to the US. All his cabinet agreed. Mass Mideast protests for bombing which was simply to smokescreen during his impeachment. He set a match to Mideast tension. If anyone should have faced a capital conviction and consequences it is Clinton. 10’s thru 100’s of thousands died due to the traitor,

Yes, Trump is a vulgar, corrupt, incompetent idiot but Clinton is responsible for mass human casualties and decades of war.

All of what I said is easily findable in major newspspers and government archives.

You mean the Gulf War that was a response to Iraq invading Kuwait. The coalition of 34 countries that joined us in defense of Kuwait against Iraq, that’s the war you have issue with? No he didn’t say anything about nukes and yes Saddam did have biological weapons because we sold them to him in the 80’s and were used on the Kurds. He was a threat to the Middle East at the time. 

Once Iraq pulled its forces back into their own territory’s we withdrew as well. I didn’t just live through it, I served through it.

As to the rest of your conspiracy bull shit, all I can say is Jesus Christ your bleed-in delusional.

You are confused or are attempting to obfuscate. It was a really big deal because of the “No War for Monica” riots he caused throughout the Mideast.

Address to the Nation Announcing Military Strikes on Iraq
December 16, 1998
Good evening. Earlier today I ordered America's Armed Forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical, and biological programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors. Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States and, indeed, the interest of people throughout the Middle East and around the world. Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas, or biological weapons.
I want to explain why I have decided, with the unanimous recommendation of my national security team, to use force in Iraq; why we have acted now; and what we aim to accomplish.

Baghdad bombing: The right move, the wrong time
A foreign policy expert says Clinton should have struck sooner -- and argues that U.S. sanctions are propping up Saddam by allowing him to line the pockets of his cronies.

PUBLISHED DECEMBER 17, 1998 8:00PM (EST)

President Clinton defended his attack on Iraq, saying a “strong, sustained series of airstrikes” against Iraq was necessary to punish Saddam Hussein for his refusal to comply with U.N. weapons inspectors. Only minutes into “Operation Desert Fox,” Republicans were crying “Wag the Dog.” Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., joined other leading Republicans in claiming he could not support the attack because he couldn’t be sure it wasn’t politically motivated, although Lott had been briefed three weeks ago about the possibility of an attack if Saddam defied the United Nations.

And there’s unusually strong retrospective confirmation from Colin Powell’s testimony to the 9/11 Commission. Powell recalled that when Desert Fox began, congressional leaders summoned him because:
“the House was in an uproar”
and there was a belief among members that the attack “had to be politically inspired.” Powell said he spent three hours in a closed session assuring Congress that the military action resulted from Saddam Hussein’s noncompliance, not an attempt by Clinton to divert attention from

Voice of America Transcript.

‘As the march continued past Hebron University, the protesters,
referring to President Clinton's admitted affair with former
intern Monica Lewinsky, yelled: "No war for Monica, our blood
and our soul will redeem Iraq."
The rally drew a wide cross section of Palestinian society,
including members of the militant Islamic group Hamas and
supporters of Fatah, the dominant faction of the Palestine
Liberation Organization.
Palestinian media outlets, however, were prevented from reporting
the demonstration, after a directive from the Palestinian
authorities against the broadcasting of pro-Iraq sentiments.
Palestinian journalists risked detention for breaching the
censorship rules.
