"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)
