I agree that it wasn't applied to Clinton..the cons tried digging and pinning all kinds of scandels from haircuts to travelgate to Monica, and when he did propose any kind of millitary operation in either Croatia/Serbia he was hounded. when we had airstikes on Iraq and in Afghanistan he was accused of starting up action to drum up support. But when Mr Bush does it we all have to be behind him...give me a break,....

Here is what GOP leaders said about Bill Clinton's war in Kosovo in 1999:
"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)
SOUNDS LIKE CUT AND RUN TO ME!
"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
HMMMM EXIT STRATEGY.. SOUNDS FAMILIAR
AND MY FAVORITE:
"You can support the troops but not the president"
-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)

I think everybody should support their president. They don't always agree with their decisions and maybe don't care for their personality but they are our leader!! It's terrible to the morale of the country to hear all the bashing. We only have them for 4 yrs, somethimes 8 but not forever and they move on. What has happened with President Bush has had a terrible impact on the kids who should be learning respect for their leaders even if they don't agree.

Right you are Ken.
But luckily it will apply to the next President Clinton, nobody will badmouth her and all will offer their complete support.
There will be no lack of civility and no name calling. Any who question her wishes will immediately be labeled Un-American by Fox News.

You are wrong! It did apply to Clinton. We did not respect him as a man because of lack of morals and self control , but we respected his position as president and commander in chief and supported in him in his decisions regrading the security of our nation.

How true. The Repubs spent 8 years trying to get Clinton out of office. No matter how much dirt they shoveled to the public it didn't work. Oh, they finally did catch him about lying about a BJ and all that other crap was never mentioned again. Nor the billions they spent pursuing it and him.

Supporting Bush, Cheney & Rove just brings more
danger to the United States.
Shame, there is no one with matching power that could
bring this insanity to a halt.

I disagree. The circumstances are totally different now, if we were at war when Clinton was in office he would have been supported by everyone. Remember the issues that polarized him were primarily domestic. They would have been deemed relatively trivial compared to today's world events.
