"We want what the American people want, Victory in Iraq" John Boner

[Philosoraptor]

He just said this after coming out of a meeting with the pres and they support him 100%.

What utter crapola.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. America wants out

and many of us didn't want to go there to begin with.

2. If we don't finish the job, Iraq qill be in the streets of America

I couldn't believe it when Mitch McConnel just said that! Please tell me I heard it wrong. They're insane.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

3. Mitch McConnell also said something totally ridiculous - I couldn't believe it

He had the nerve to say that if we didn't win in Iraq, "they" would follow us back here. I wonder if he was referring to Bathists, Sadrists, Sunnis, Shiites, or maybe the Kurds and Turkumen? I have no idea what this idiot meant.

5. Thanks- I thought I was hearing things

[Philosoraptor]

10. Mitch McConnell said it

[Philosoraptor]

6. These fuckers are not funny anymore.

I mean, this shit is going to get seriously insane real fast.

[katsy]

15. ROFL!

Hey Mitch... put them on the no fly list like you did to Senator Kennedy!

[sinkingfeeling]

4. I want a damn definition of what 'victory in Iraq' would be.

[Philosoraptor]

7. Parades, violent outbreaks of peace, flower strafing, free beer

[indepat]

13. If only the neocons would define victory for us: is it killing every Iraqi who opposes their country

being occupied by a foreign power, having their people killed and maimed, their homes, economy, and infrastructure destroyed, their artifacts stolen, and their natural resources systematically looted mostly for the benefit of big multi-national oil companies? That's my guess/take as to the real definition, but what does a solitary soul know and, besides, would that definition/take, if valid, play well in Peoria? :shrug:

11. And I want to win the lottery......

and I have about the same chance.

[Deep13]

12. Which is what exactly?

Keep towing the party line, Boner. We want to expand our majority next year anyway.

[Rex]

14. Yawn.

The American people want a whole new government and evidently want it now. We should start getting use to saying President Clinton, again. :)

16. All I gots to say is . . .

[bluedog]

17. Victory means exit strategy ........GWB.........Bosnia

a treasure trove of irresistibly hypocritical quotes from top Republicans when Clinton committed troops to Bosnia. Enjoy!

", and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is."
–Governor George W. Bush (R-TX)

"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)

"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)
