Clinton is now actually breaking the law, is he not? Perhaps it is a high crime and misdemeanor which the Republicans are allowing to age properly to bring out the flavor.

An army of 160,000 would not be adequate to defeat Yugoslavia, based on the Wehrmacht experience, so I believe the mention of it is a sort of balloon. (The talk about the air war destroying the Yugoslav army appears to be entirely fanciful.) I believe it is further evidence of a hysteria, that is, Clinton & Co. have lost control of the themselves and don't know how to get out of the situation, so they're going to go in deeper. If my guess is right, and if the current numbers go over with the public, then the figures will soon be doubled or tripled. The Republicans ought to be smart enough to have this figured out, and to be waiting for the right moment to maximize their benefit from the situation.
