Things Republicans said about Clinton during the Bosnia action.

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

" 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)

1. This was actually the Kosovo action, but good post

:)

[LittleClarkie]

5. It's actually the work of a guy from Kos, but I thought it bared repeating

I'm going to print it out and show it to a freeper or two.

[Wetzelbill]

7. I thought maybe the subject line was yours

but yeah, it is good stuff otherwise. He missed a quote by Dick Lugar that said" This is the President's war and it'll be his responsibility alone when he falls flat on his face." Don't use that, I paraphrased it off the top of my head, but the point is these hypocrites said awful stuff about Bill Clinton when he did actions in Bosnia and Kosovo and had plans for them, but nary a word of criticism for Bush when he bungled his way into Iraq.

10. What bears repeating is this information on a good number of TV ads.

4. The hypocricy is amazing. eom.

[Patrick_Star]

6. Seriously

It is amazing how similar these comments are to the comments that are being classified as un-American. Rhetorical question: Do these people have this poor of memories or do they not care about lying if it helps their political cause?

[Wetzelbill]

8. they don't care about lying....

also, they would never admit to saying those things now. You could have a tape of Hannity saying it and he'd say it never happened. You can't argue with delusion. It's impossible to do.

11. LOL

Like Robertson? This does seem to be one of their M.O's.

[LittleClarkie]

9. It occurs to me what their all-purpose answer for this is

"But 9/11 changed all that."

[Blue_Roses]

12. yep

they use this lame excuse for everythingx(
