I found these quotes elsewhere, they make for interesting reading:


"You can support the troops but not the president."
--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

"Well, I just think it's a bad idea. What's going to happen is they're going to be over there for 10, 15, maybe 20 years."
--Joe Scarborough (R-FL)

"Explain to the mothers and fathers of American servicemen that may come home in body bags why their son or daughter have to give up their life?"
--Sean Hannity, Fox News

"[The] President . . . is once again releasing American military might on a foreign country with an ill-defined objective and no exit strategy. He has yet to tell the Congress how much this operation will cost. And he has not informed our nation's armed forces about how long they will be away from home. These strikes do not make for a sound foreign policy."
--Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA)

"American foreign policy is now one huge big mystery. Simply put, the administration is trying to lead the world with a feel-good foreign policy."
--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

"I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning . . I didn't think we had done enough in the diplomatic area."
--Senator Trent Lott (R-MS)

"I cannot support a failed foreign policy. History teaches us that it is often easier to make war than peace. This administration is just learning that lesson right now. The President began this mission with very vague objectives and lots of unanswered questions. A month later, these questions are still unanswered. There are no clarified rules of engagement. There is no timetable. There is no legitimate definition of victory. There is no contingency plan for mission creep. There is no clear funding program. There is no agenda to bolster our over-extended military. There is no explanation defining what vital national interests are at stake. There was no strategic plan for war when the President started this thing, and there still is no plan today"
--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

All Bushite neocons, you'll notice, speaking about Clinton and the Bosnian conflict.

And, to finish, how about this couple of pearlers, from the man himself?:


"If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy."
--Karen Hughes, (speaking on behalf of George W Bush)

"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is."
--Governor George W. Bush (R-TX)

Amazing how similar the Yugoslavian wars of the 90s compare to the Iraq war.

You'll find the same fascinating list of quotes by every leader of the Democratic Party that knew and said for sure Saddam had WMD (during Clinton's adminstration ---well before Bush lies) , and that he is a danger to the world, and in 1998 under the Clinton administration signed legislation requesting removal of Saddam, called "REGIME CHANGE.", an American fatwa.


Both were wars of NO IMMINENT DANGER.
Both were wars to end a festering problem in a strategic area.
Both were wars that ended the festering problem only to create new ones and so it is highly debateable if the old problem or the new one is worse than each other.

Both were wars listing prior genocidal actions by the native leader.

I wonder if he reads his past statements? :?
