Quotes from GOP About Bosnia War...
by storiesinamerica
Wed Aug 3rd, 2005 at 14:16:07 PDT

Forward far and wide...

* storiesinamerica's diary :: ::
*

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 the y 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)



busted! Yeah!

1. Nice.
It'd be even better with a "Wag The Dog" reference, the equivalent of Bush's lies. Of course, that claim was as false as the rest.

11. mainLy to stand out

Sean, please explain how you are different than Cindy
Interesting that you said this in 1999, and I quote:

"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

20. Every single time one of those chickenhawk morans calls into Springer or
whoever, the first question after the RW rant should be, "Why are you here talking on the phone and not over there in Iraq putting your ass where your mouth is?" I NEVER hear them ask that question and it really annoys me. :mad:

24. These people scare the shit out of me.
Delay, on the Daily Show last night, made it look like he was as cool as a breeze. They're painting us as extremists. And I'm scared. They aren't going to back down. Arrogance and ignorance are a combination that doesn't mix.

Thanks for the quotes.

31. Busted BIG TIME
Nothing makes me happier than to see Republicans outed for the criminal liars that they are. That includes their media supporters like FauxNews. The bottom quote for Chimpy himself is the icing on the cake. Why haven't reporters looked into this and questioned the repukes about their previous statements? Oh yeah, our corporate media is owned by the repukes and have betrayed us all.

46. It's my hope and prayer that SOMEONE from our side, who goes on
the show hosted by that-twerp-whose-name-rhymes-with-VANITY and read him his quote about who will tell the mothers and fathers... and see if he remembers who said it.

For that, I'd actually watch that God-forsaken show.
