You mean the planes that were flying over Saddam's country harassing his military? Clinton's idea, and the UN's idea, was to contain Saddam. It was working in the sense that Saddam was indeed contained and neutered but the sanctions wreaked a terrible toll on the civilian population.

This one's a real beaut! It was bin Laden who railed against the infidel Crusader army in Islam's holy places. So, after 9/11, what did Bush do? Why, pull our troops out, of course - just like his former business partner's brother insisted.
