It's not a soviet thing, it has always happened. Something bad happens a human will say "but what about this?"

And yeah, every president did it. The media calls it wag the dog. Clinton bombed Iraq during Monica Lewinsky scandal, Bush had the media talk about Dixie Chicks and Kanye West bashing hjm, Obama made a big deal about Binders Full of Women, Big Bird and laughing off Romney saying Russia was a threat, and Hillary was bashing Breitbart at the end.

I thought Clinton bombed Yugoslavia immediately after Lewinsky. I remember he took out the actual Yugo factory around that time.

Operation Desert Fox was after the scandal broke. Yugoslavia was a year later.

Some critics of the Clinton administration, including Republican members of Congress,[26] expressed concern over the timing of Operation Desert Fox.[27] The four-day bombing campaign occurred at the same time the U.S. House of Representatives was conducting the impeachment hearing of President Clinton. Clinton was impeached by the House on 19 December, the last day of the bombing campaign. A few months earlier, similar criticism was levelled during Operation Infinite Reach, wherein missile strikes were ordered against suspected terrorist bases in Sudan and Afghanistan, on 20 August. The missile strikes began three days after Clinton was called to testify before a grand jury during the Lewinsky scandal and his subsequent nationally televised address later that evening in which Clinton admitted having an inappropriate relationship.

The Operation Infinite Reach attacks became known as "Monica's War" among TV news people, due to the timing. ABC-TV announced to all stations that there would be a special report following Lewinsky's testimony before Congress, then the special report was pre-empted by the report of the missile attacks. The combination of the timing of that attack and Operation Desert Fox led to accusations of a Wag the Dog situation.

If I recall correctly the film Wag the Dog was in theaters when this all went down.

Yeah, the release date was in December 1997.

Oh yea, but what day in December?

4th time's the charm?
