Has everyone seen this?
In 1999, George W. Bush criticized President Clinton for not setting a timetable for exiting Kosovo, and yet he refuses to apply the same standard to his war.
http://thinkprogress.org/2005/06/28/in-1999-bush-demanded-a-timetable/

George W. Bush, 4/9/99:

“Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is.”

And on the specific need for a timetable, here’s what Bush said then and what he says now:

George W. Bush, 6/5/99


“I think it’s also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn.”

3. can you say flip-flop? ew! i hate that phrase!
"It doesn't make any sense to have a timetable. You know, if you give a timetable, you're -- you're conceding too much to the enemy."
-- George W. Bush, 6/24/05

VERSUS

"The President should also lay out a timetable for how long American troops will be involved and when they will be removed."
-- George W. Bush, 6/3/99

12. bush*s response would be, "911 changed everything, time is not
on our side, locusts, I got a flat tire, we're not done stealing the oil, my flight suit's still at the Baghdad Cleaners, it's NOT MY FAULT!"

And the MSM would eat that shit up.

13. oh, yeah...
like that bad intelligence he got about WMD.

i forgot.

i suppose expecting a president of a leading nation to know whether he can trust information, and the person who gave the information, to be honest and true is just asking way too much.

my dog ate it.

8. It just makes me sick.
And the MSM will never report this. Will never throw his words back in his face and demand an answer.
