I hope we bomb even 100 aspirin factories if there is even the slightest evidence they are cooking up something nasty there. My problem with clinton wasn't that he bombed that factory but that he sent a few missiles and that was that

Those gunships don't "accidentally" hit anything. Now back into your hole, Hidy.
