President Bill Clinton was notified that Richard Butler, chief of the UN weapons-inspections program, in his repot outlined Iraq's refusal to comply with the agreement singed in Nov 1998. Clinton was advised by his national security team to act before Ramadan, Islam's holiest month. Clinton had little time and he ordered air strikes against Iraq. However, by acting, he jeopardized his credibility in the US and abroad because he was set to be impeached by the House.
