I do recall Clinton attacking AL Queada assets in the Sudan and in
Afghanistan. I also recall the attacks beign widely condemned
by Repubicans. Good thing he kept it a secret that he had
rescinded Carter's ban on assasination and marked Bin Laden for
death. The Republicans might have added that to the articles of
impeachment...


I dont recall the attacks being condemned. There were those who had ideas
it
was to distract from his current problems, but I dont think anyone found
fault
with the attacks themselves.

There's a lot of stuff that turned up on Google when I punched in "Sudan
Tomahawk Attacks Criticism". Here's just one of many postings you might use
to
refresh your apparently failing memory:

Let me know if that's not enough to make the point.....I'm sure I could
provide
a few more for you if you need more.

And it didnt show anything to demonstrate "widely condemned". Lots of
newspaper editorializing, and some individuals against it. But I did not find
anything that pointed to the alleged widespread criticism from the Repubilcan
side. Certainly no Republican leadership statements against it. Looks like
some on the left were against it, does that mean widespread Democratic
criticism?

some excerpts
* Reuters 9/21/98 "U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark said Tuesday the U.S.
government had wanted an excuse to strike at Sudan last month and the decision
to bomb a pharmaceutical plant there was strictly political.

Clark is a far left kook

*9/24/98 AP "Rep. Barney Frank, one of President Clinton's most outspoken
supporters on Capitol Hill, said Thursday he believes Clinton made a mistake
last month in ordering the bombing of a Sudanese factory suspected of
manufacturing chemical weapons agents. Frank, D-Mass., said in a letter to
Clinton he initially supported the bombing of sites in both Sudan and
Afghanistan but now believes the administration went too far in the Sudan
attack.."

Another lefty.

* "Ross Perot suggested Sunday that President Clinton might consider taking
the United States into "a little war'' strictly for a boost in poll ratings.
The billionaire businessman who ran for president in 1992 and 1996 said Clinton
would consider almost anything to satisfy a lust for power. "This man will let
this country rot, he will let the economy go into an international decline, he
will devastate millions of people, and, if necessary, he'll start a little war
just to get a bump in the polls, and that is a lust for power,''

Not a Republican

Independent (UK) 2/5/99 Andrew Marshall ". The United States may be forced to
acknowledge that it mistakenly attacked a factory in Sudan with cruise missiles
last year, after the threat of legal proceedings by the plant's Sudanese owner.


British

New York Times 8/28/98 Editorial "Americans of both parties rallied around
President Clinton's decision to launch military strikes against alleged
terrorist installations in Afghanistan and the Sudan. But the Administration's
refusal to share more information about its choice of targets and timing is
disturbing. By its excessive secrecy, Washington only increases skepticism
about its claim that the Shifa chemical factory in the Sudan was really
producing nerve gas ingredients and thus had to be destroyed to prevent new
terrorist attacks."

They seem to think BOTH parties supported.
