That's quite a different situation, though. Clinton cut military budgets because the Cold War had ended
Yeah remember that , throw lots of money at defence so the opposition have to throw lots of money at defence , see which one runs out of money first . Then stop throwing money and claim victory .

Clinton and liberals in the U.S. tried and are continuing to try to do the same thing in the U.S....and not without success.
Whereas Bush and the"conservatives are wrecking the military and throwing money down the drain .
Oh and they are very lacking in success apart from wrecking the military which wasn't one of their aims I think . Though you can never be sure with those idiots .
