Now let's see here if I understand all this correctly. President
Clinton has ordered our forces to engage an entrenched, politically
motivated enemy, backed by the Russians, on their home ground, in a
foreign civil war, in difficult terrain, with limited military
objectives, bombing restrictions, boundary and operational
restrictions, queasy allies, far across the ocean, with uncertain
goals, without prior consultation with congress, the potential for
escalation, while limiting the forces at his disposal, and the
majority of Americans opposed to or at least uncertain about the
value of the action being worth American lives.
So...just what was it that he was opposed to in Vietnam?
