The strikes came at a particularly difficult time for US President Bill Clinton, as he was impeached on December 19. --Personally i think the time was not "difficult" but "convenient", as it shifted the focus of the news media.

This articles kind of light on information; for example, how many strikes were made? What targets were hit? Etc. Would someone be able to expand on this? --Stretch 22:25, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Added expansion tag. Forgot to last time. --Stretch 03:20, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal

I removed a substantial portion of text that had been copied from one of the external links with little or no modification. This use of copyrighted text is not acceptable. The article left behind is presumably more incomplete as a result, but in addressing that, contributions must always be written in your own words. --Michael Snow 17:23, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scott Ritter's POV

OK guys, are we really supposed to believe that gathering intelligence against Iraq was the actual reason for the expulsion and not the pretext? It would involve circular logic to conclude that this was the case because had Saddam not impeded them, there would be no bombing. 65.185.190.240 00:38, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Furthermore, having the entire section about the "end of inspections" devoted to Scott Ritter's claims is not NPOV. 65.185.190.240 00:42, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
