ROTFLOL... You are now crapping an enormous load on Bill Clinton. Nice of you to admit that under Clinton's 8-years he neglected the military... which is typical of Libs.The is likely a list. We oversaw a war he wasn't prepared for to start with.
His comment about going to war with the amry you have highlights this.
Thomas Sowell shreds Clinton in this 1999 article, and gives facts of how badly Clinton neglected the military.

The military walked through Iraq and kicked ass. They got to Baghdad in 2 weeks. Now, when the German and Japanese were defeated, they didn't loot themselves and they didn't terrorize. Iraqi's did. OK, post ass-kicking things got tough for a while, BUT... if you know anything about war, if you are familiar with Clausewitz... you know war is rarely predictable.
They had a plan, and Gen. Franks created it. It's disingenuous to say they didn't have a plan. Pure hogwash.He had time to plan.
They had plans before Bush came to office. You think the military doesn't have plans of actions for different theatres? Oh my.He was asked right after 9/11 to formulate a plan with Iraq.
He was, and if you read Woodward's book he documents Bush grilling CIA chief Tenet, and Tenet telling him it was "a slam dunk". ALL our allies believed Saddam had WMD, and Hans Blix believed he had and was lying... I've posted this stuff before. The Germans hid their fear of biological weapons coming from Iraq and being used in Germany, because of an election (Schroeder the pig). Their fear was with even modest amounts 25 million people could die.He shoudl have been prepared. He should have argued against going in.
Bush listened to many people. Hillary Clinton told Code Pink she had info from her time in the WH with co-prez Billy about Saddam's WMD. That vid is easy to find. I suggest you take a peek.Listened more to Powell and less to Cheney.
So, your list amounts to nothing.These are just off the top of my head.
Care to try again?
