Tom Delay says: "You can support the troops but not the president."

Kos has a post with a list of quotes from Republicans during the war in Bosnia. As we all know, not one soldier killed in action. They're all good quotes but here are some choice ones:

"You can support the troops but not the president."
--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

"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

"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)

" 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)

"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)

1. That Governor of Texas is pretty fucking sharp

Whatever happened to him? We need his insight in Washington.

2. It is amazing how utterly accurate those statements are...

when applied to the current situation.

And, of course, how hypocritical they make their respective speakers look now.

3. I wish we had no-nonsense leaders who spoke like that now....

((sarcasm))

4. Exhibit A: Evidence of a corporate controlled mass media.

These quotes would be thrown in the faces of these bastards in a free press.
"So is your son or daughter signed up to fight in Iraq?" Should also be asked of these chicken hawks but never is.
