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

"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." 
--Joe Scarborough (R-FL) 

"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 

"[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." 
--Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) 

"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) 

"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 

"I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning . . I didn't
think we had done enough in the diplomatic area." 
--Senator Trent Lott (R-MS) 

"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" 
--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX) 

"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)
