Remember when Bill Clinton, at the height of his power, committed
"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
"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)
"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)
"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)
"[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)

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)
"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
High-tide for hypocrisy in American politics has finally arrived. The coin has flipped, and the weight of good and evil is measured in gallons of blood. When will we just sack the governing lot and start fresh? This government, the American Government, on both sides of the isle, has become just as oppressive and corrupt as the British government of Jeffersonian era.
The new theme of American life is gloom and doom. Our "representatives" do nothing more than regulate us. The
By the time this whole gory cyclone winds down, dropping so many body parts on our heads, the accounting of such monumental crimes will yield another bloody mess. Just like it was centuries ago. Just like it is today.
