Google Technorati del.icio.us digg reddit Republicans who thought
fighting in other countries was not our place to clean up the world's
messes!
I find it odd the Republicans had a different message when Clinton
was President:
KY's Senior Senator Mitch McConnell said during a speech on the floor
of the U.S. Senate
"Domestic terrorism is not a cause we have to fight or a project we
need to fund. We are not interested in capturing bin Laden. Even
though he has been offered to us. We are not the world's policemen.
It's not our job to clean up other countries messes or arrest it's
bad guys."
VERBATIM QUOTES FROM WHEN CLINTON WAS COMMITTING TROOPS TO BOSNIA:
"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, 4/6/99
"[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)
"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
"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)
"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
The last one gets me the most
