History class 101 for dave to catch up:
Based on UN Security Council resolution 1031, NATO was given the mandate to implement the military aspects of the Peace Agreement. A NATO-led multinational force, called the Implementation Force (IFOR), started its mission on 20 December 1995. IFOR was given a one-year mandate.
Its primary mission was to implement the Military Aspects of the Peace Agreement. It accomplished its principal military tasks by causing and maintaining the cessation of hostilities; separating the armed forces of the Bosniac - Bosnian Croat Entity (the Federation) and the Bosnian - Serb Entity(the Republika Srpska) by mid-January 1996; transferring areasbetween the two Entities by mid March; and, finally, moving the Parties' forces and heavy weapons into approved sites, which was realised by the end of June. For the remainder of the year IFOR continued to patrol along the 1,400 km long de-militarised Inter-Entity Boundary Line (IEBL) and regularly inspected over 800 sites containing heavy weapons and other equipment.
Who were also members of the UN? The US.
Who sent US troops to make up the multinational force? Clinton.
What was the mission? To enter Bosmia (uninvited) (Dave's definition would call that "invade".); to cause the cesssation of hostilities (war) Between Bosnia and Serbs; separating the armed forces (I think Dave would call that conquer and divide); to transfer areas (take geographic control-again uninvited); move the conquered forces and heavy waepons to approved sites; and continue patrol and inspections.
Now if that is not invading and conquering under dave's definition; I don't know what is.
So, Clinton sent troops to be used by NATO to invade countries that did nothing to us (under dave's definition). So what was the threat? Seems the threats the democrats listed when Clinton was in office for Iraq far outweigh any threats to the US by Bosnia!
Bosnia did nothing to us. Shall I say it slow like you???? get it now? Class over!
Clearly not my definition of an invasion or the definition that has been presented here. Nowhere in your post did the UN or the U.S. use the word conquer. This is why in my definition the word conquer is in bold print. The U.S. had no vested interest in conquering Bosnia or the Serbs. They responded to a call of help, which is a far cry from a unwelcome invasion of a 3rd world country in the false name of terror.
Call it what you will gentlemen, America now knows the truth. Bush will go down in history as the worst of all time. History will tell that story. It is my hope he escapes prosecution.
Thanks, it's been fun.
