When George Bush was smart
Here's a short list of quotes from Republicans criticizing Clinton's Bosnian intervention. Naturally, well known Republicans like Trent Lott and Tom Delay were vocally opposed to Clinton's plan because they didn't like the open-ended nature of the commitment. Hmmmm.
My favorite quote?
"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, who was then Governor of Texas.
