Clinton murdered 1000s of people in Iraq?

Maybe you mean Bosnia?

Saddam said about 20,000 died in the "no fly zone" bombings. We denied
it but we really didn't have any way to prove him wrong. We were
shooting missiles into residential areas to suppress Iraqi radar sites
on a pretty regular basis. I have to believe some people died, even if
it was just radar operators. I understand Saddam put his people at
risk by locating these sites in residential areas but we still shot at
them.
At a certain point you have to admit these were still acts of war.
That is why I say Iraq is an 18 year war, spanning 4 presidents now.
That is the kind of record you expects out of 14th century European
monarchies

We are still in a state of war in Korea. The hostilities have ceased but
the state of war still exists.
