XLII President of the United States: 1993 - 2001
Statement on Action To Prevent Default on the Public Debt
November 15, 1995
The Republican Congress has failed to take responsible action to prevent default for the first time in our history and to ensure that the Government can meet its obligations, including paying next month's Social Security benefits. To prevent against default and all of its subsequent harmful consequences, my Secretary of Treasury has been forced today to take extraordinary but necessary actions. I won't allow the Republican Congress to force us into default or put Social Security beneficiaries at risk. If the Republican Congress won't take action to prevent default and protect Social Security recipients, I will.

Doc, come on, I don't want a shot.
Hey. Doc, I said, no.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 03/24/07 3:52 AM
I find myself thinking of some "memories" of when I was assigned to the USS Wainwright. The ship had left port for a short regional deployment and I stayed back because I had a medical appointment on base. Or something like that. Not really sure why I didn't leave with the ship but it was because of some appointment on base. After that appointment, there was a period before the ship was due back when I was assigned to work in an office there on base. I liked the assignment because I had to wear my dress uniform and I liked that because I got to wear all my ribbons. I didn't have any ribbons until we were in the Persian Gulf and so most of my ribbons were from that Operation Praying Mantis combat engagement. There were two other petty officers in the office; they might have been CPO's, but maybe Petty Officer First Class's. They didn't really have any work for me to do in there so they had me crumpling up pages of documents that were going into a burn bag because they were classified. They told me to take my time and pace myself because they didn't have any other work for me but I "remember" that I went through all the documents too soon and then didn't have anything to do. But then I was watching one of them typing up some regular report on a computer and he didn't know how to touch type so I volunteered to type it for him. I think the word processor was Gemstar. He told me I had saved him a lot of time. I had to leave and report back to the Wainwright the next day I think.

Now, Something Worse in the Gulf Than War : What if You Do Everything Right and End Up Killing 300 Civilians?
July 05, 1988 TOM CLANCY Tom Clancy is the author of "Red Storm Rising" and the coming "Cardinal of the Kremlin."
I heard of the latest Persian Gulf incident from National Public Radio while driving home from Nashville, Tenn. The collective deaths of even 300 terrorists would give most of us cause for momentary grief at the wastage of human life. The extinction of a similar number of civilian lives, many of them children's lives, is a horror differing from the Holocaust in scale but not in substance. And we all ask ourselves in that moment when our eyes close and breath goes out in a sigh, "What went wrong?"
What went wrong is simply that there is a war under way in and around the Persian Gulf. The world has evolved rules for the conduct of war, and though it may seem that the very concept of rules for the dreadful thing that we call war is lunacy, we have here an example of why they did in fact come about--there are worse things than war.
The U.S. Navy is in the gulf for a reason so simple as to be irrelevant in these modern, sophisticated times. It's called freedom of the seas. That was the first mission of the U.S. Navy after independence. A flag officer named Preble led a small fleet of warships to the Mediterranean to restrain the Barbary pirates from attacking American shipping. Later the U.S. Navy and the Royal Navy exterminated piracy in U.S. waters and ruthlessly enforced a ban on the slave trade. This was done because the collective will of mankind wishes the sea to be free for the passage of all and the pursuit of peaceful trade.
In time of war things are more complicated. It is customary for belligerent nations to deny maritime trade to one another, extending even to ships of non-belligerent nations. In 1914 it came about that merchant ships were subjected to submarine attack without warning, ending the longstanding "Rules of Prize Warfare" that had made the interdiction of trade a fairly civilized process. Western nations were horrified by this development, but soon realized that technology made it inevitable.
In the Iran-Iraq War something new has been added. Iraq has attacked Iranian and otherwise-flagged tankers taking oil out . Both sides, of course, are selling oil, and are using the proceeds to buy weapons used in a war that may have ended a million lives for a few square miles of marshland on their mutual border. As terrible as that is, it isn't new. Neither is the extensive use of chemical weapons, a special horror largely ignored in the rest of the world. What is new are Iranian attacks against tankers of non-belligerent nations trading with other gulf states, and occasionally against those states as well. This is donein the belief that those other states are providing financial support to Iraq as a foil against the Islamic revolution in Iran, which may well be true. While Iran is unwilling to declare war against its neighbors, it seems to want to share with them the misery and costs of that war.
And that is why the U.S. Navy is in the Persian Gulf. The duty of sustaining the principle of freedom of the seas historically falls on the nation with the most powerful navy, and that's us. Unfortunately, we have handled the matter poorly.
We extended our protection only to American-flagged Kuwaiti tankers as if freedom of the seas were a superpower prerogative, even though we have entered wars to prove that it was not. Historians tell us that departure from principle in the name of expediency is always a mistake. For those who don't believe, here is renewed proof. The principle was not observed in full, and the Iranians gave it commensurate respect. Move and countermove have ensued. American sailors have died because we have ordered them to be a "presence" in a war zone. Our ships must live in a war zone, must defend themselves but may not take any decisive action to end the threats. When attacked, they take enough action to punish the attackers, but not those who gave the orders. This in a part of the world where human life is rather a cheaper currency than it is here. And so it goes on.
And so while the Vincennes was fighting yet another small engagement against Iranian gunboats, a new blip appeared on its radar screens. The aircraft was reportedly not in a designated airliner corridor.

Put yourself in the captain's place. U.S. ships have been attacked by aircraft in the gulf, at the cost of American lives. You have one battle under way, and now there is a new potential threat. It's heading toward you at 450 knots. Not so long ago, another U.S. Navy cruiser shot it out with air and surface units at the same time. You try to warn the aircraft off.
