Message 21633539 Verbatim quotes from when Clinton was committing troops to Bosnia: "You can support the troops but not the president." ---Rep Tom Delay (R-TX) "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) "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 "[The] President . . . 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." ---Sen Rick Santorum (R-PA) "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." ---Rep Tom Delay (R-TX) "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 George W Bush "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) "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 over-extended 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" -Rep Tom Delay (R-TX) "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)

"dad's record of a 56% increase in just 4 years". In a two-party-system, that is the way the original intent, intelligent creation, was supposed to be. They, them two. must take turns, or then it becomes a one-party-system. However, US supposedly had those check&balances in those four institutions, house-senate-president and the superior ones.. But it was always known that it could, and would go wrong. Especially considering that funny gerrymandering of districts, which blessed US so much in the 1960-70s. However, 1967 was funny as was 1962, when the idea of a pre-emptive air-strike was supported in the Pakistan-India dilemma, plus when the Shah was inserted into Iran. That is, daddy Bush was really stupid when taking over after Reagan, who was somehow demented not to let Carter sorting out, but he had to consider Ford, Nixon and LBJ, plus Kennedy and Eisenhower...etc.. Will be interesting to see if that take-turns will continue, or if US actually has turned into a true one-party system. (some say, the districts are gerrymandered like that for at least 25 years into the future) lp2cd.com
