Did Bill Clinton, a Democrat, start the 2nd Gulf War with the Iraqi Liberation Act of 1998?
And how did Bill Clinton’s Operation Desert Fox, effect the rise of the Insurgents to this day?
Is this another case of a Democrat(Bill) starting a war and a Republican(Bush) ending it like so many before them?
Lincoln ended the Civil War ,Nixon ended Vietnam, Eisenhower ended the Korean War, all Republicans.
Yes or No?
The December 1998 bombing of Iraq (code-named Operation Desert Fox) was a major four-day bombing campaign on Iraqi targets from December 16–19, 1998 by the United States and United Kingdom.

Bill Clinton and his campaign in bombing Iraq. I think Bush just probably made it worse, though, IMO.
The Iraq Liberation Act was a reaction to Saddam Hussein’s “cheat and retreat” policy concerning his weapons. Many of the others who have responded to your question have never read the text of the Act. So, the first link below is to that Act.
The actual military offensive against Iraq was authorized by the Congress nearly five years later. The reasons listed in that authorization mirror some from the Iraq Liberation Act. That’s the second link below.
As for the oil issue, most of Iraqi oil production is under contract to a French firm and has been for many years.
