More Repuke Quotes Re; Clinton/Bosnia
All of these quotes were made when Clinton commited 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 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)

"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)


Not one U.S. soldier was killed during that conflict.

1. Seeing the Repugs have scripted propaganda in place..
All the Dems need is a microphone and an audience.

N'est pas?

2. Sad irony
...and in the end, we really were greeted with candy and flowers. Several weeks ago General Clark was in Kosovo where he was met by 10,000 muslim children carrying American flags that weren't on fire. Oh, and never forget that Tom Delay voted against funding while the troops were in the field.

These quotes should be printed on huge banners that are unfurled in the halls of congress every time the bastards start to speak their patriotic bullshit.

6. Rabid partisan blowfly maggots,
That's all the GOP of today is. They would think polio vaccine is a bad idea if the Clinton administration was the one to introduce it.

7. Oh I don't know...
if the polio vaccine would mean huge profits for the pharmaceuticals, and was priced prohibitively high so as to be inaccessible for middle and lower income children, they might support it. Well, if God approved. <---have to ask Pat Robertson.
