| a | Addison Mitchell "Mitch" McConnell, Jr. (R-KY) | 1 |
You can support the troops but not the president. |
| b | Rep Tom Delay (R-TX) | 2 |
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? |
| c | Joe Scarborough (R-FL) | 3 |
I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning . . I didn’t think we had done enough in the diplomatic area |
| d | Karen Hughes, speaking on behalf of George W Bush | 4 |
[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. |
| e | Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/6/99 | 5 |
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. |
| f | Rep Tom Delay (R-TX) | 6 |
Domestic terrorism is not a cause we have to fight or a project we need to fund. We are not interested in capturing bin Laden. Even though he has been offered to us. We are not the world’s policemen. It’s not our job to clean up other countries messes or arrest it’s bad guys. |
| g | Rep Tom Delay (R-TX) | 7 |
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 |
| h | Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) | 8 |
If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy. |
| i | Senator Trent Lott (R-MS) | 9 |
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 |
| j | Governor George W. Bush (R)-TX | 10 |
Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is. |
