I am SO GLAD THE GOP is so UPSET THAT ANYONE would say ANYTHING against our COMMANDER IN CHIEF! RIGHT?

Question

HERE IS HOW GOP TRAITORS UNDERMINED AMERICAN RESOLVE DURING CLINTON'S SUCCESSFUL OPERATION IN THE BALKANS. REMEMBER, 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

I didn't support Clinton's war efforts anymore than I support King Dubya's, but I do appreciate the clear and convincing evidence of republican hypocrisy. They would have me in jail for speaking the same words they spoke themselves in 1999. I guess dissent wasn't bad for the country in the 90's

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

When your government asks it's people for blind unquestioning allegiance those people no longer live in a Democractic Republic!

Anyone who can't see they are ALL hypocritical, self-serving, bought and paid for yes men and women deserves what they get!!

Hopefully soon more people will catch on and become more a part of the solution!!

This is typical partisan politics!

And it's at the expense of everyone in the military and the civilians of the world who suffer for it!!

Answer 4

All that bombing of Serbia certainly got Monika off the front page, didn't it? So why do liberals claim to be anti-war when they're so proud of Clinton bombing Serbia into the stone age and killing at least 2,000 civilians? Just politics, of course.

Answer 5

Incorrect, at least one american died, when his plane was shot down over Serbia. And there was no reason to get involved against Serbia, the Country was neither funding or training terrorists. They were not attempting to aquire WMD. They had not invaded their neigbors. Clinton wanted to distract us from his domestic problems. So he used the military to do that.

Answer 6

The Balkans? Are you serious? A troop of boy scouts could have gone in and mopped that place up.

You should have used a different "conflict" to prove your point. You just sound silly.

Answer 7

They just like to play politics with American lives. Nothing new since the 70's.

Answer 8

Are you some sort of paid clinton operative?

Answer 9

Only applies to Republican Presidents. Democrat Presidents are fair game according to them. You only have to be loyal to the President and show him support if he has a "(R)" after his name. If it's a "(D)," then you can say whatever you want about him and it's not considered treason the way it is with a Republican President.

Answer 10

What's your point, that Democratic presidents are war-mongers, too?

PS: I don't support the war in Iraq you hypocrites!
