GOP Move To Bring Bosnia Troops Home
Two leading House Republicans, skeptical that the U.S. can help build a lasting peace in Bosnia, want to cut off funds for the mission by Sept. 30.

"You can support the troops without supporting the president." - Trent Lott

"Just because President Clinton has made a decision and the troops are already landing, I'm not going to endorse a wrong decision after the fact." - Trent Lott

"Congress should support the troops without endorsing the president's policy." - Arlen Specter

"Well, I don't support the policy so much as I support the troops."- Pat Buchanan

"There are no clarified rules of engagement. There is no timetable."-Tom DeLay

"It would be wrong to make our young men and women bear the brunt of a decision not made by them. We don't support the president's decision. We do support the troops." - Bob Dole

"The 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)

"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)

"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)

"It's very simple. The president is not supported by the House, and the military is supported by the House." -Tom Delay

But here's my favorite:


"I think it's also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long U.S. troops will be involved and when they will be withdrawn."
-George W. bUsh. June 5, 1999

But only when the president has a (D), eh bush?

A poster prominently featuring a Republicon politician and one of these quotes should be displayed.

Good thing that the LIBERAL MEDIA is quick to throw the Repukes' words in their faces.

:eyes:

[Toots]

15. Each Democrat should use one of these quotes on the floor of the House & Senate

And as soon as the Republicans start their inevitable attack say oops I forgot to say these were quotes from and then name the person quoted...But we all know when that is going to happen...

16. "Repblic" -- typo, or the new anti-Republican slur?

Just tryin' to stay in the loop, here. ;-)

Oh, and, nice post. If I didn't hate them so much I'd feel embarrassed for them by now.

[RedEarth]

17. Once again, good work.......... I also like to use Republic party....

in fact I used several times today when I was talking to a person that belongs to the Republic party....he sort of had a confused look on his face...lol

[Bjorn Against]

18. Wow, I can't believe I never heard those Bush quotes before...

It seems like those quotes would have gotten a lot more attention than they did, but oh yeah I almost forgot who runs our media.

[Kermitt Gribble]

19. I love this!

Do you mind if I paste this in an email to send to my republican aunt and her Bushie friends?
