Clinton awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Yugoslavia - good...

I'd like to see you find anyone saying it was good to give Halliburton a no-bid contract in reconstructing Serbia, even though they had already won a bid to provide support during the operation and had standing infrastructure to help in the rebuilding process.

Clinton spends 77 billion on war in Serbia - good...
The war in Serbia cost NATO 4 billion, 2 of which came from the US. The war in Iraq has cost 191 billion so far with reconstruction far from over.

Clinton imposes regime change in Serbia - good...

NATO imposes a change in regime that was a direct threat to the stability of the Balkans and was in the process of invading an autonomous region.
US troops used - 18,500
US lives lost - 0
Bush forms a coalition for the express purpose of invading Iraq based on bad intel and with sketchy motives.
US troops used - 135,000
US lives lost - 889+

Clinton bombs Christian Serbs on behalf of Muslim Albanian
terrorists - good...

NATO went to war on behalf of the ethnic Ablanians who were fleeing by the thousands into neighboring nations.

And you talk about genocide?-
Civilians reported killed by military intervention in Iraq

--> Min 11252
--> Max 13213

--> "We don’t do body counts"
--> General Tommy Franks, US Central Command

Clinton bombs Chinese embassy - good...

Whoever said this was good?

Clinton commits felonies while in office - good...

Again, how is this good? Democrats were critical of his actions and most Americans feel he tarnished the prestige of the office.

Clinton says mass graves in Serbia - good.....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/473017.stm

No mass graves found in Serbia - good...

Refer to above "The latest mass grave is one of more than 150 in Kosovo"


Stock market crashes in 2000 under Clinton - good...
Recession under Bush - bad...

When Bush came to office in 2001, the 10-year budget balance was officially projected to be at a surplus of $5.6 trillion. Now, the deficit is expected to grow to $5-trillion over the next decade.

Clinton refuses to take custody of Bin Laden - good...

Very bad, he made a call and when he wieghed the cost in US soldiers against a mission with a 45% chance of success he took the safer path.

Clinton says Saddam has nukes - good...

I for one don't remember Clinton saying Saddam had nukes.

Clinton calls for regime change in Iraq - good...

Big differance between calling for a dictator to step down and forcing him to at the cost of hundreds of American lives

Terrorist training in Afghanistan under Clinton - good...

If I remember right, it was Bush I that supported the terrorist camps against the Soviets, not Clinton. He was the one that bombed them.

Milosevic not yet convicted - good...
Saddam in custody - bad...

Most people are upset of the long trial of Milosevic - not good.
Most people are happy to see Saddam in custody, just don't approve of the way it was brought about.
