"Victory means exit strategy...
and it's important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is." Governor George W. Bush referring to President Clinton's intervention in Kosovo 4-9-99.

“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it’s also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn.” - Governor George W. Bush referring to the same intervention 6-5-99.


What a hypocrite

1. Kosovo objective is clear
It is a good deed. Many countries contributed troops there.

Iraq all screwed up. Why go in?
Hence the objective is unclear.
If the objective is to bring democracy to Iraq then do it right.
No need for Americans to die.

Just leave and let democracy has a chance to grow.
This occupation will not allow democracy to grow.

It wont be true in Afghanistan it wont be true in Iraq.
Democracy rule by the people for the people.
And the people will decide not the soldiers with guns.

If the redcoat was still in America will it ever acheive democracy?
Me think US will be a continous state of revolt to attain freedom.
After that maybe then democracy will come into play.

2. The War on Terror has no exit

It's too politically useful for the Repugs

Finnaly it might become a real grim reality

4. Kosovo was not the front in the war on terra
Iraq is. That is in Repuke logic.

5. Didn't the Repukes blast Kerry for (among other made-up shit) not
telling his plan for Iraq? (And all the other dems who "don't have a plan" for Iraq)

Of course, when pressed for details on "milestones" or "benchmarks" which would show progress and allow our troops to return, the repukes scream that we're "cut and run" pacifists . . .

6. Victory to neocons means perpetual war. Exit would be a failure in
their eyes.
