[Mb-civic] What did I say? When?

All of these quotes were made when  Clinton commited troops to Bosnia.  

"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) 

Not  one U.S. soldier was killed during that conflict.
