Sorry, that was bad of me. It was actually Trent Lott, during the Kosovo campaign.
More quotes from the 'supportive Republicans rallying around the President':
DeLay:
"He's stronger in Kosovo now than he was before the bombing. ... The Serbian people are rallying around him like never before. He's much stronger with his allies, Russians and others." Clinton "has no plan for the end" and "recognizes that Milosevic will still be in power," added DeLay. "The bombing was a mistake. ... And this president ought to show some leadership and admit it, and come to some sort of negotiated end."
Nickles:
"I would take a little issue with [what] Gen. Ralston said. ... The number of killings prior to the bombing, I think, has been exaggerated."
Oh, and by the way, now we know that in fact thousands had been murdered by the Serbs. But, we knew it at the time, didn't we, and the Reps choose to disbelieve.
It goes to show that both sides play an immoral political game of politics. Shame on both sides. |
