1. Similar comments from the usual Faux News Talking Heads
"No goal, no objective, not until we have those things and a compelling case is made, then I say, back out of it, because innocent people are going to die for nothing. That's why I'm against it."
-Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/5/99

"You think Vietnam was bad? Vietnam is nothing next to Kosovo."
-Tony Snow, Fox News 3/24/99

"Explain to the mothers and fathers of American servicemen that may come home in body bags why their son or daughter have to give up their life?"
-Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/6/99

2. the worse is that there weren't practically any US troops on the ground
until after the peace was signed. Same with Kosovo. Out of the 60 000 troops first committed to the area, only 7000 were US, whereof 4500 were stationed in a quiet area near Macedonia.

5. The cries of "No War for Monica!" are still ringing in my ears
from when Bill decided to take a shot at OBL. Remember? That was just a "Wag the Dog" moment according to the Repugs.
