There are other accounts by equally accredited media.<br /><br />U.S. Strikes Iraq for Plot to Kill Bush<br /><br />By David Von Drehle and R. Jeffrey Smith<br />Washington Post Staff Writers<br />Sunday, June 27, 1993; Page A01<br /><br />U.S. Navy ships launched 23 Tomahawk missiles against the headquarters of the Iraqi Intelligence Service yesterday in what President Clinton said was a "firm and commensurate" response to Iraq's plan to assassinate former president George Bush in mid-April.<br /><br />The attack was meant to strike at the building where Iraqi officials had plotted against Bush, organized other unspecified terrorist actions and directed repressive internal security measures, senior U.S. officials said.<br /><br />Clinton, speaking in a televised address to the nation at 7:40 last night, said he ordered the attack to send three messages to the Iraqi leadership: "We will combat terrorism. We will deter aggression. We will protect our people."<br /><br />Clinton said he ordered the attack after receiving "compelling evidence" from U.S. intelligence officials that Bush had been the target of an assassination plot and that the plot was "directed and pursued by the Iraqi Intelligence Service."<br /><br />"It was an elaborate plan devised by the Iraqi government and directed against a former president of the United States because of actions he took as president," Clinton said. Bush led the coalition that drove Iraq from Kuwait in the 1991 Persian Gulf War. "As such, the Iraqi attack against President Bush was an attack against our country and against all Americans," Clinton said.<br /><br />After two months of investigation and mounting evidence, Clinton became convinced during two "exhaustive and exhausting" meetings last week that Iraq was indeed behind a foiled car-bomb plot to kill Bush during his visit to Kuwait April 14-16, a senior administration official said.<br /><br />Aides met with Clinton Wednesday in the White House residence to present a summary of the evidence gathered by FBI and intelligence sources, the official said. On Thursday, Attorney General Janet Reno and CIA Director R. James Woolsey presented the president with their formal reports.<br /><br />Clinton ordered the attack Friday, but the raid was delayed a day so it would not fall on the Muslim sabbath, the official said. "About a dozen" U.S. allies and "friends in the region" were told in advance that the attack was coming; the reaction, according to the official, was mostly favorable. British Prime Minister John Major issued a statement last night supporting Clinton's action.

The followin...John Lemandri shared a page.<br />2 hrs ·<br /><br />The following in support of Donald Trump, was sent to FOX, action Megyn Kelly<br /><br />Megyn Kelly,<br /><br />I served with our Diplomatic Corps as a Communication Officer in Iraq and can tell you the reason George Bush Jr. invaded Iraq was not because of weapons of mass destruction, which was a cover since Saddam Hussein vaguely hinted he had WMD, but that Saddam Hussein ordered the assassination of George Bush Sr. when he went to Kuwait to receive an award for liberating that country.<br /><br />President George Bush Jr. a Texan, wanted to avenge his father and thus ordered the invasion. He was wrong and Donald Trump was right, there was no reason to go to war.<br /><br />Yet you continue to slam Donald Trump each night while saying George Bush had good reason to go to war when in fact he did not. I was once a Bush supporter but he began that war to revenge an assassination attempt on his father, and as a result billions of dollars were needlessly spent, thousands of lives lost on both sides and many families destroyed.<br /><br />Bush Jr. acted as a COWBOY yet you refuse to admit the truth, that there was no WMD and no reason to go to war. Even Secretary of State Colin Powell said he was not told the truth after he appeared in front of the UN to support the call to war.<br /><br />Wake up Megyn Kelly, or are you just as corrupt as most of the other journalists who purport to serve the American people but in fact are more interested in preserving your own image. How disgusting.<br /><br />John Lemandri<br />Williamsburg, Va.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134696836007607101.post-3950880400142546432016-02-20T14:28:37.546-05:002016-02-20T14:28:37.546-05:00http://cafefuerte.com/csociedad/28070-obama-primer...http://cafefuerte.com/csociedad/28070-obama-primera-vez-medio-siglo-esperanza-futuro-mejor-pueblAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
