Except that it was Bush-41 who got us in there with no particular plan, and the Republicans in Congress who were calling for us to run away that Clinton ended up ignoring...

Also, being a draft-dodger is certainly worse than being a "chicken-hawk." Since there were well over a thousand military deaths during the Clinton era, I guess Clinton is very generous with other people's blood, too.
Perhaps you're unaware that Bush and Cheney were both draft dodgers and chickenhawks. A double barrel pair of military midgets hellbent on sending other people's kids off to their wars.

Clinton?

You're , again, off topic in your own thread.


Great defense of Cheney..."BUT CLINTON"...so hilarious when REPUGS are screaming about not bringing up Bush!!!

Why are you so hypocritical?

No matter what Clinton did ....

DICK Yellow-Belly Cheney was too WEAK to accept his duty to the United States and got 5 deferrments because he didn't have the backbone to go to Vietnam.

Aren't you REPUGS all about PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY??????

Bush was not a draft-dodger. A draft dodger is some who receives a draft notice and fails to appear.

Bosnia, Kosovo and Haiti are three places which come to mind. Clinton sent troops there (without Congressional approval).
I didn't say "wars," I said countries which Clinton sent U.S. troops to.

Ok, so you're saying the "Daddy keep me outta this war" draft-dodging Bush was worse than The ChickenHawk Dick, right?

No, that would be a violator of the Selective Service Act, a draft dodger is someone who weasels his way out of getting a draft notice in the first place.

Bush is a BIG chickenhawk, however you want to spin the term "draft dodger."
