USS COLE

Deja vu all over again! Clinton gutted our military. Why do you suppose our military was digging in Iraqi garbage dumps to arm themselves? Clinton sold our Military Oil Reserves to the Gore family's big oil company Occidental petroleum. Decommissioned war ships and oil tankers. Pre-Clinton's we had more than 33 refueling tankers post Cinton 8. USS COLE had to refuel in an hostel port. 17 sailors dead, war ship destroyed. 2000 Bombing USS Cole in the port of Aden, Yemen, 17 U.S. Navy sailors murdered (Oct 12, 2000) (The USS Cole was not engaged in any combat during this period) In less than a 3-year period Clinton decreased U.S.'s military manpower from 2.1 million to 1.6 million & enacted a pay freeze on U.S. troops, 80% of whom earned $30K or less annually.
