does anyone have a link to all the 1990's quotes of various Repugs

[Sperk]

saying that they could support the troops but not the president. Also something about the need for an exit strategy, and one about how it's his war (Clinton). I'd like to make posters for the vigil tonight and use their own words against them but I want to make sure I get the quotes exactly right and have them attributed to the right Repugs.

Thanks.

1. put this together in campaign '04

some choice quotes:

“Bush, in Austin, criticized President Clinton’s administration for not doing enough to enunciate a goal for the Kosovo military action and indicated the bombing campaign might not be a tough enough
response. ‘Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is,’ Bush said.”


Then-House Majority Whip Tom Delay (R-TX): “Mr. Speaker, this is a very difficult speech for me to give, because I normally, and I still do, support our military and the fine work that they are doing. But I
cannot support a failed foreign policy. … But before we get deeper embroiled into this Balkan quagmire, I think that an assessment has to be made of the Kosovo policy so far. President Clinton has never
explained to the American people why he was involving the U.S. military in a civil war in a sovereign nation, other than to say it is for humanitarian reasons, a new military/foreign policy precedent. … Was it worth it to stay in Vietnam to save face? What good has been accomplished so far? Absolutely nothing.”



Senator James Inhofe (R-OK): “(P)resident has decimated our ability to defend ourselves.”



Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN): “This is President Clinton’s war, and when he falls flat on his face, that’s his problem.”

2. What's really comical is looking in the Congressional Record

and seeing how the Repukes fought against restoring Democracy to Haiti in 1993.

How they felt that "not one American serviceman's life" was worth putting a democratically-elected President in his rightful office after a militaristic dictator overthrew the govt.

Oh, by the way, wasn't Aristide flown out of Haiti, not only with W's blessing, but pretty much at gunpoint, with W's guys pointing the gun and supplying the flight?
