" You can support the troops but not the president " ---Rep. Tom Delay

(R-TX)

 

 

" [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)

 

 

" 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)

 

 

" 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)

 

 

" 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

 

 

" 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)
