<< So are you saying that we should recall all our troops from any hotspots around the globe during a Presidential transition? >>

I am saying that I question Poppa Bush's motives for sending our troops into an unwarranted, horrible situation right after he lost the election.

<< I guess the troops will be coming home from Kosovo and Bosnia now that Clinton is leaving office then... >>

Bush has suggested this. Let's see what happens next. Bush doesn't want to use our troops to maintain peace, only to fight wars. He may get his wish by not preserving peace.

<< But then again, our guys and gals in uniform were supposed to come home from Bosnia YEARS ago. The whole one year commitment thing Clinton promised never quite happened. >>

Would you have preferred that entire area to be blown up in war and the massacres of hundreds of thousands of innocent families, or for our troops to stay there longer than a year?
