> sanctions against Iraq during the Clinton admin
Which administration were the sanctions imposed under?
It seems really weird to make a partisan jab over that.
George H. W. Bush sanctioned Saddam to death instead of toppling his government. From the end of the Persian Gulf war until it was "liberated" it was basically impossible to do business in Iraq.
Both parties carried this out.
Neocons from both parties
Both parties didn't want a full scale invasion during the 90s, so sanctioning was seen as an alternative.
Important question.
Looks like GHWBush after the Kuwait invasion[1]
That said, presidents have the power to adjust sanctions if they affect too many innocents.

Actually in regards to the sanctions against Iraq during the Clinton admin.

I’m sure we’ll hear plenty of swamp creatures lauding what a trailblazer she was over the next few days.
