You must have a terrible memory then, because it was impossible to turn on the news back then and not hear Clinton's Republican adversaries chastise Clinton for the missile attacks by saying he was doing it to divert attention from the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Since that era pre-dates most websites, it's hard to find a web link. I honestly can't believe you don't recall it. The best I can do is this Snopes article that briefly mentions it:

Yeah, I must have a terrible memory.

I specifically remember Bob Dole (Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole....who had lost an election to Clinton 2 years earlier...you know, that Bob Dole)....commending Clinton for doing something.

I don't doubt there were other members of the Republican party playing stupid political games though.
