As the War in Iraq lingers on ....

Saw these quotes on the web today and found them amusing. They were all made by republicans when President Clinton made the decision to go into Kosovo.

"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)

" 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

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

"You can support the troops but not the president" -Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)
