Hugh Shelton didn't in 1998. Here's why... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/15/hugh-shelton-book-clinton-iraq-war-albright_n_764403.html "Shelton sets the scene at a small, weekly White House breakfast that served as regular informal meetings that encouraged brainstorming of potential options on a variety of issues. At one of my very first breakfasts, while Berger and Cohen were engaged in a sidebar discussion down at one end of the table and Tenet and Richardson were preoccupied in another, one of the Cabinet members present leaned over to me and said, Hugh, I know I shouldnt even be asking you this, but what we really need in order to go in and take out Saddam is a precipitous event something that would make us look good in the eyes of the world. Could you have one of our U-2s fly low enough and slow enough so as to guarantee that Saddam could shoot it down? The hair on the back of my neck bristled, my teeth clenched, and my fists tightened. I was so mad I was about to explode. I looked across the table, thinking about the pilot in the U-2 and responded, Of course we can ... which prompted a big smile on the officials face. You can? was the excited reply. Why, of course we can, I countered. Just as soon as we get your ass qualified to fly it, I will have it flown just as low and slow as you want to go." And there's the Clinton "national security team" for you. "We" want a war with Iraq. Who is "we?" Anyone from the oil industry present? A: No Who is present? Hillary's future "national security (for Israel and just Israel) team"
