Remember HOW GOP TRAITORS UNDERMINED AMERICAN RESOLVE DURING CLINTON'S SUCCESSFUL OPERATION IN THE BALKANS

Question

NOT ONE AMERICAN SOLDIER DIED.


"President Clinton 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."-Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA)

"No goal, no objective, not until we have those things and a compelling case is made, then I say, back out of it, because innocent people are going to die for nothing. That's why I'm against it." -Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/5/99

"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." -Representative Tom Delay (R-TX), 1999

"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 presidential candidate George W. Bush, 1999

"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), 1999

"You think Vietnam was bad? Vietnam is nothing next to Kosovo." -Tony Snow, Fox News 3/24/99

"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), 1999
"I'm on the Senate Intelligence Committee, so you can trust me and believe me when I say we're running out of cruise missles. I can't tell you exactly how many we have left, for security reasons, but we're almost out of cruise missles."
-Senator Inhofe (R-OK), 1999

"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 overextended 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" -Representative Tom Delay (R-TX), 1999

"I don't know that Milosevic will ever raise a white flag" -Senator Don Nickles (R-OK), 1999

"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

"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), 1999

"This is President Clinton's war, and when he falls flat on his face, that's his problem." -Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN), 1999
"The two powers that have ICBMs that can reach the United States are Russia and China. Here we go in. We're taking on not just Milosevic. We can't just say, 'that little guy, we can whip him.' We have these two other powers that have missiles that can reach us, and we have zero defense thanks to this president."-Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), 1999

"You can support the troops but not the president" -Representative Tom Delay (R-TX), 1999

"Bombing a sovereign nation for ill-defined reasons with vague objectives undermines the American stature in the world. The international respect and trust for America has diminished every time we casually let the bombs fly." -Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)

Answer 1

Well Republicans are hypocrites.

Answer 2

Consider, the Republicans undermine and slam the Democrats - and now the Democrats undermine and slam the Republicans. What's your point? This scenario is rather self evident and repeated regardless of which political affiliation is in the White House. Rarely do I recall a truly bipartisan agenda or decision concerning anything.

Answer 3

The major objection to Yugoslavia was the lack of a goal. Of course, there was a goal, but no one ever really explained it. I will do that for you.

In case you're unable to connect two major world events, I'll do it for you.

Just prior to Yugoslavia catching on fire, the Iron Curtain crumbled, and Germany became reunited. The former West Germany basically became saddled with a doubling of their size and population, but half the land's infrastructure was forty years out of date, and half the population had no useable skills. This was a drain on their economy.

So, when Yugoslavia caught fire, the likely result was large numbers of refugees headed.... where?

There certainly was a clear goal in Yugoslavia, and the goal was to stop the flow of refugees into a Germany that really couldn't afford them.

Was this a legitimate goal of the United States? I am unconvinced.

Answer 4

And exactly what was Clinton's exit stratagy?

We're still there, and I hear dead silence coming out of the hallowed halls of Washington. And the YA liberals are even more silent.

Answer 5

Thanks for the quotes. I had forgotten a lot of those wonderful folks and their support for the previous administration.

You remember, the one that had developed a real plan for containing and tracking down bin Laden? The surgical attacks on Al-Qaeda training grounds with cruse missiles?

How soon the losers forget history.

Answer 6

Tell that to the 6,000 people who were killed. Let's not forget Mogo dishu, and the central tribes fo Africa were 500,000 wer ekilled. Let's not forget doing nothing about the 1993 bombinf of WTC, two embassy's and of course the USS Cole with absoutely no repsonse. And lets not foret the selling of the Lincoln bedroom for campaign moeny, and of course the 150 pardons' of various criminals especially Mark Rich who fled the country to avoid prosecution for a large contribution.
