The success of Clinton's Air Wars

 Dipping into "Fiasco" about the second Iraq War... author speaks in the opening pages about the success of Clinton's bombardment of Saddam's Iraq with cruise missiles in Desert Fox in 1998, (this was the one that people were saying was supposed to be a distraction from his impeachment.) And it reminds me of how much flack Clinton caught at the time for not committing ground troops and restricting himself to air campaigns when in fact these air campaigns (a la Kosovo) were quite successful and the right decision.
