- 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?
