I was at the boat school in '98 when slick willy gave the speech which turned out to be about the time that an intern was becoming famous.

Clinton. Just after we invaded Somalia and shortly before our unilateral, pre-emptive, nation-building, unprovoked, non-UN sanctioned war on Bosnia.

Had the Thunderbirds fly right over our heads today making their (possible) final wrapped-up turn for the commencement pass. They were under a low overcast layer (<1K?) in mtn terrain. It was a 4 plane diamond with two in trail. Not sure if that's how they passed over the stadium (probably not) considering how low they were squeezed to the ground. But it was impressive to see them fly that way. I didn't know the AF could do something like that.

...that killed 4,100 of ours, left the region in chaos, and had nothing to do with 9/11.

Oopsy! Wrong President!

I got him confused with Mr. "Mission Accomplished!"

 

[Tejas-Jet]

I got him confused with Mr. "Mission Accomplished!"

Is that the same as Mr. "Bring it On"? Works with Mr. "Last Throes"

I was asleep during most of Clinton's address. Long night led to long morning.

The war in The Former Rep of Yugoslavia burns my ass. I flew gunships over that area for 4 years, got shot at more times than I can count, flew all over the country-side looking for ACC's finest - Capt Scott O'grady, and took out some Serb EW sites and Ammo dumps. All to protect the Bosnians from the atrocities being committed. At the time, I thought it was a good cause..........
until I saw the story of the BOSNIAN MUSLIM who tried to enter the Austrian embassy in Vienna with a bag of explosives. :-\

I am sure we helped the women and children that were victims of the ethnic cleansing, but we enabled the muslims and created some easy pickins' for Al Qaeda.
