It really tickles my funny bone that the only thing the right can
find wrong with those years was an affair with an intern (something
that was, is and should never have been anyone elses business - right
or wrong). *It also had _nothing_ to do with how the country or
economy was run. * It was the most peaceful 8 years in the history
of the 20th century. * it was the most economically powerful decade
since Vietnam, with lowest inflation and the highest gains for the
poor, middle class and well-off. *The DOW grew more in those 8 years
than any other comparable 8 year period. *Clinton and the United
States were well respected by most of the rest of the free world.


Peaceful? Clinton waged war on more countries than anyone since FDR
(Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Haiti, Albania, Serbia, and Bosnia).
During the decade of the '90s there was, on average, one terrorist attack on
the U.S. or U.S. interests abroad (1st WTC bombing, USS Cole, embassy
bombings, kidnapping of U.S. ambassadors, etc.).


What did the DoD spend during Clinton?
