John McCain Questions President's Open Ended Handing of War! Demands Clear End Game!

[Median Democrat]

From the John McCain is a lying hypocrite files, in 1999, when Bill Clinton was president and Gen. Wesley Clark was presiding over the highly successful Kosovo air strikes. Both Bush and McCain were loudly second guessing Bill Clinton's handling of the Kosovo war, and bemoaning the lack of a clear exit strategy:

NOVAK: Do you think that war can be won without sending in ground troops?

MCCAIN: I am very skeptical because all three of us, being students of history, know that the last time, I think, that air power won was when Zeus used to have an unlimited supply of thunderbolts.

US Senator John McCain, Arizona Republican:
The important thing here is that this is a very dangerous business that we've embarked on and there is no end game, there is no exit strategy that has been articulated and therefore I am incredibly skeptical...

Oddly, Bush joined McCain in questioning the lack of a clear exit strategy:

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. Although on Wednesday Bush said that a victory was paramount, “even if that means ground troops,” he said Thursday any decision to commit ground troops ought to be made by the military

1. In McCain's view, we can leave Iraq when it becomes a shining beacon of hope in the Middle East

Or put in other terms, a long long long time from now...if ever.
