I've listed this article for peer review because it was listed as a Good Article on September 7, 2011 and has been revised since then. I think it would be good to get a peer review to see what additional work it needs, if any, before it can be nominated for Feature Article status.

Hi yonnie, the article looks good and we can tell a lot of people have worked hard on it. In its current form the article does give a very favorable interpretation of the Clinton presidency. In particular, it leaves out a lot of Clinton foreign policy and decisions as Commander in Chief. Here's a list—please ask directly if there is trouble finding reliable secondary sources on any of these topics.
In response to the 1998 Al-Qaeda bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa that killed a dozen Americans and hundreds of Africans, Clinton ordered cruise missile strikes on terrorist targets in Afghanistan and Sudan.
Officials later acknowledged, however, that "the evidence that prompted President Clinton to order the missile strike on the Shifa plant was not as solid as first portrayed." Indeed, officials later said that there was no proof that the plant had been manufacturing or storing nerve gas, as initially suspected by the Americans, or had been linked to Osama bin Laden, who was a resident of Khartoum in the 1990s."
