What I wish someone on the "media" or even some ballsy Dem's would bring up
Edited on Sat Dec-03-05 06:43 AM by southernleftylady
George W. Bush, 4/9/99:

“Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is.”

And on the specific need for a timetable, here’s what Bush said then and what he says now:

George W. Bush, 6/5/99


“I think it’s also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn.”



VERSUS

George W. Bush, 6/24/05:

“It doesn’t make any sense to have a timetable. You know, if you give a timetable, you’re — you’re conceding too much to the enemy.”



and they should just keep bringing this up and making him ask "what changed?"

3. Yes, 9/11 changed everything!
It allowed unprecedented treasonous liars to bamboozle almost the entire American population.

10. "OH BUTT KERRY AM BE THE FLIP FLOPPER!"
Yeah yeah yeah. Spineless Dems, they only seem to speak out when the point of critical mass is met. Any wonder why HALF of the USA population doesn't vote?! And of that that does, HALF are REGISTERED INDEPENDENT OR 3rd PARTY!? THE 2 PARTY SYSTEM BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWS!!!!!!!!!

7. Al Franken had some RW 20-something nutjob on the line one time
(and the one time I watched it on Sundance) who claimed that he really didn't consider what happened in 1999 a "war" . . .

This guy was drinking in a bar and looked like he could have picked up a military issue rifle and gone over to Iraq . . .

9. The GOP used to scoff at the notion of "nation building"
now they are engagaed in the biggest example of it since WWII.
