When did half a million Iraqi children die under Clinton?
He's referring to the sanctions put in place after Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990. They were imposed by the UN Security Council, not unilaterally by the United States, and they pre-date the Clinton administration by 2.5 years. They largely ended in 2003.

unicef...stated that nearly one million iraqi children dead during the clinton years.....and Madeline Albright said it was worth it
Unicef: 500,000 children (including sanctions, collateral effects of war). "[As of 1999] [c]hildren under 5 years of age are dying at more than twice the rate they were ten years ago." Newsline
We weren't at war with Iraq during those years. There are lots or horrible things that happen all over the world that I wouldn't blame the president for.
Did you read what I wrote? They PRE-DATE THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION BY 2.5 YEARS.
yet....
When asked on US television if she [Madeline Albright, US Secretary of State]On May 12, 1996, Madeleine Albright appeared on a 60 Minutes segment in which Lesley Stahl asked her "We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth thought th it?" and Albright replied "we think the price is worth it."
and clinton was convicted of war crimes by an international war tribunal
The difference is one president actively engaged in war with Iraq, the other was just president and not actively at war with Iraq.
really now....

Regime change in Iraq has been official US policy since 1998. The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, signed into law by President Clinton, states:
"It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime."
Iraq Liberation Act of 1998
105th Congress, 2nd Session
September 29, 1998
Respect means not using up soldiers lives like they are expendable and sending them into a guerrilla war of your own making, unprepared for close quarters urban guerrilla warfare, where your enemy shoots at unarmored Humvees you are driving around in, or plants IED's that you drive over and you are blown up, burned, concessed, or killed.
Respect means not killing those under your command like Pres. Obama has demonstrated, and Pres. Clinton and Pres. Bush before him.
W is an idiot who is trying to repair his legacy through spin and phoniness, and it will only work on those who are not smart enough to see through it.
There is an old saying "Actions speak louder than words", and his actions as Commander in Chief speak volumes.
Your words speak volumes, and your partisanship and ignorance are astounding.

I didn't say I approved of the sanctions or their consequences.
