What makes you think it was accidental?

Does one attack a vacant lot from three sides or are we to believe Wesley intended to attack three different building bordering the "vacant lot".

It was perfect execution of realpolitik. Chinese anger extinguished the fire Clinton was under for his pro-Chinese activities!

Accidental, my foot. Are you so trusting of media and gov’t BS? “Out of date maps” more BS. The USAF uses GPS, hasn’t used maps since the 1960s. Three Tomahawks, entering windows, hit the embassy. Canadian Ambassador Bissett believes that the WCs (Clinton & Clark/hero of Waco TX) thought Milosevic was sleeping there. The Chinese will not forget the bombing of their territory.

Bombing an embassy is a good thing? How about Tanzania & Kenya 1968? Which other embassies would it be a good thing to bomb?

How was that an “upside” dumbass? Bill Clinton, in hitting the Chinese Embassy (whether deliberate or not) attacked the sovereign territory of a foreign nation (the second one in the conflict, alongside Serbia itself). He pissed off the world and made the USA look arrogant, or foolish and incompetent (or both).

It also gave Bill Clinton even more opportunity to wag the dog, on top of the initial bombing campaign itself. (It began coincident with the Juanita Broderick allegations, and in the wake of the impeachment humiliation, while the Embassy bombing occurred in concert with accusations against Bill Clinton’s China policy.)

As we saw from Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton’s humiliating failure and public evisceration in the 2008 Presidential campaign, they’re political opportunists who’ll stop at nothing in the service of their own power.

It’s difficult to know whether or not the 1999 Embassy bombing was deliberate, but it undoubtedly helped Clinton’s political plans, intentional or not, and was at best an idiotic attack on another sovereign nation. If you’re truly stupid enough to defend a Clintonian f**k-up on that scale, then perhaps you should put out a special request for Monica Lewinsky’s kneepads.
