1. Yes, but....
Bush may have promoted a lying turncoat who cost nearly a thousand American's to die in a useless war, but can you really compare his sins to Clinton's? I mean, Clinton got a B.J., for god's sake ! Can't have none of that in the White House. ..

2. Clinton
Don't forget, Clinton gave Millions in cash and millions in weapons to his buddy Boris Yeltson who then RESTARTED the war with Chechnia. The war was over at this point, and restarting it cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of Chechens who now are our avowed enemy and form the backbone of who we are fighting in Afghanistan.

For a real good read pick up "My War Gone By" by Anthony Lloyd. He was the only journalist with the balls to go to Chechnia during the war. It is one of the best written books I've read in years.

Later

3. A book about the Bosnian war tells us Clinton bad, Bush same???
Sorry Doc,

Is that right wing talk show logic -Clinton gave Millions in cash and millions in weapons to his buddy Boris Yeltson who then RESTARTED the war with Chechnia - ?

It is Easy to show that the above is a lie - or if you like - a partial truth with spin that implies a history that never happened -

but would a timeline be of interest to you - perhaps if you could list out the events that you refer to, we could discuss..

Have a great day ... later .. Doc

:-)

4. Chechens
I did list it, "my war gone by". But then I remember events like the killing of the Chechen president due to triangulation of a cell phone which was Motorola technology, and thats pretty common knowledge.

Whether you agree with me or not, I still recommend you read this book. Its fantastic. The guy is a Nick Berg type. Just took a camera and went to Bosnia and then to Chechnia. Became the lead BBC corespondent. Very interesting side note. He was a heroine addict and lived in the underground night life of the people in the war zone. So he was high on smack, basically waiting to die, and the Russians are firing 10000 arty shells a day into the area he is in. This book will blow ya away. I think it won a Pulitzer.
