e-bill, I wont post to you on that one. But, I thought you could cool your heels with this one. Bush claimed in the debate that he supported the Administration's involvement in Kosovo. Bush "Crapped Out Big Time" on Life-and-Death Kosovo Stance. According to Boston Globe columnist Nyhan, "George W. crapped out big time on Kosovo, waffling, weaving, dodging, and ducking, never taking a position on a life-and-death national issue till the matter was decided." [Boston Globe, 9/1/99] Bush "Failed" the Kosovo Test. "We’ve just seen him on the question of Kosovo, where it seems to me he failed the test. ... He didn’t step up. [He] put his head in the sand," said reporter Carl Bernstein. [CNBC, "Hardball" 6/8/99] Bush’s Stand on Kosovo is "Vague and Tepid." According to the Wall Street Journal, Bush’s statement on air strikes in Kosovo was "vague and tepid." [Wall Street Journal, 3/30/99] Bush Kosovo Stand "Not Exactly a Thoughtful Pronouncement." "Bush’s big stand on Kosovo? Six weeks after the air campaign began, he called the Kosovo bombing and Clinton’s policies ‘haphazard.’ Not exactly the thoughtful pronouncement of a man who wants to craft this nation’s foreign policy as president." [Investor’s Business Daily, 5/17/99] Bush Went Jogging Instead of Offering Comment on Kosovo. "When the bombs began falling Wednesday, Bush went jogging instead of attending what have become customary meetings with reporters after his private sessions with backers of his presidential campaign. Later Wednesday, he issued a noncommittal statement and evaded reporters’ questions after an appearance in Grapevine," according to the Austin American Statesman. [Austin American-Statesman, 3/26/99] Bush Admitted Kosovo Was "Not Even On the Radar Screen." Bush has conceded that his foreign policy experience was limited to Mexico and that Kosovo was "not even on the radar screen." [New York Times, 3/15/99
