Clinton bombed Iraq in 1998, much more extensively than what Trump just did:

BTW this was precipitated by pic related Scott Ritter's testimony before the US Senate to the effect that
>we've been DENIED access and Iraq HAS NOT been disarmed
after he retired in a huff from his UN weapons inspector job earlier that year.
Somehow no one remembers that Ritter was an turbo Iraqhawk before 9/11, and only remember his about-face opposition to the war in 2002.
Some people also don't remember he's a convicted sex offender.

After resigning in protest of the inspection process because Iraq denied him access to certain sites (perhaps because their were underage girls there?), he testified before the Senate in 1998 to the effect that Iraq "had not been disarmed."
Senator Biden, teasing out the implications, remarkably pushed back against military intervention, and the notion that Ritter being denied access to certain sites meant that the UN/US should immediately use, or threaten to use, force to "compel access."

Later that year, the US launched Operation Desert Fox.
Ritter then did a complete 180 and claimed Iraq HAD been disarmed.
Somehow Ritter rewrote the record to the point that his 1998 congressional testimony, partially responsible for the December strike on Iraq, is effectively memory-holed or misremembered as him warning AGAINST internvention.
