The president always opposed the war in Iraq when he was a senator, and he campaigned for president promising to remove the remaining combat troops from Iraq. He has kept his promise in that regard.
During his presidency, President Clinton sent troops to several regions and countries. Some notable examples include Bosnia and Herzegovina, where he deployed troops as part of a NATO peacekeeping mission; Somalia, where he ordered the withdrawal of American forces after a failed intervention; and Haiti, where U.S. troops were sent to restore democratic order after a coup. He also authorized military interventions in Kosovo and Iraq.

While troops have been downsized drastically in the past year or so, it is widely believed that there are as many as 10,000 troops still on the ground in Iraq. We hope that they are all returned home safely and soundly as soon as possible.
