Yeah. A fellow named Clinton used to do it every time he got some lovin' from an intern. <a href='http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9609/03/iraq.bombing/index.html' >Shocker, it was in Iraq.</a>

The one Clinton was criticized for was on <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/htmlContent.jhtml?html=/archive/1998/08/21/wemb21.html">Afghanistan and Sudan</a>. Clinton had bi-partisan support for the one you linked to.</p>

Bush (even though Bush started the mission).&nbsp; </p>

apparently, you stopped paying attention sometime during the Jefferson Administration

<p>International law has been broken by countries since it was invented. Until there's a global organization strong enough to threaten serious economic fines and can back it up with military might, international law will continue to be broken. UN is too weak right now.&nbsp;</p>
