of investigating the Whitewater scandal, and the Paula Jones case, Ken Starr, just kept digging up dirt on Clinton. His investigation found that Clinton had an affair with a Whitehouse aide Monica Lewenski. This would turn out to be the most embarrassing event in Clinton's term. The fact that both Clinton, and Lewenski lied under oath is what made it so bad. While Lewenski was busy trading testimony for immunity, Clinton was busy trying to apologize to the whole country, which he had just lied to. Near the same timeframe as the Lewenski scandal, Clinton ordered air strikes on Iraq. Saddam Hussein kept UN inspectors from inspecting its weapon factories. The belief was that heavy warheads were being manufactured in secret warehouses. After the air strikes were ordered, most of the attention was pulled off of the Lewenski scandal. Many people believed that Clinton might have over reacted with the air strikes in order to focus some of the attention off of him. I for one strongly stand by any decision a president makes which involves any for of military activity. I also personally think that Iraq, and Saddam Hessian should have been completely dealt with in 1991. I will give Clinton some credit for what he had accomplished during his terms. The economy seemed to be pretty strong. Buying a home became something that was not only for the middle class. More people were going to college. I even remember Rush Limbaugh saying that Clinton was not really doing a bad job running the country, which in a way says a whole lot. Being in the military during Clinton's term, I am glad to say that he did not micromanage us. It seemed that other than a few trips to some military bases, he stayed out of the game. The pay raises were nice, although I feel it was nowhere near enough....
