Santorum, Scarborough, and Delay... Oh My!
Caught this from Modern Fabulosity, who caught it from Rosie's blog, who caught it from... well, who knows - she said she got an e-mail with it from someone, so this may have been floating around for quite some time, and I'd like to actually see these quotes documented somehow (just to add fuel to the fire), but it's just one more thing to make me pound my head up against that brick wall and ask how it's possible that Democrats NOT win against these idiots in 2008?
These are quotes from notable Conservatives and Republicans, commenting on Clinton's decision to commit troops to Bosnia:
Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) - “[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.”
Joe Scarborough (R-FL) - “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.”
Rep Tom Delay (R-TX) - “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.”
Not scary enough for you? OK.... try this....
Governor George W. Bush (R-TX) - “Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is.”
