An excerpt from THE CARP, a Red Wing MN paper:

Bipartisan?.... B.S.
The following are quotes from prominent Republican and conservative talking heads, back when Clinton committed troops to Bosnia. Funny how positions change when your man takes power...

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

"[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)

"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)

"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)

"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

"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)

I just got done reading a book called Beach Music by Pat Conroy. It's sounds like a romance novel, but it's not... As far as novels go, it covers more topics than any I've ever read before... history, wars, places, etc... from Italian & Roman culture, the horendous sufferings of the Haulocost, to the war in Vietnam, and even the saving of loggerhead sea turtles... a diverstiy of topics.
Anyway... reading of the Vietnam war and feelings in the 60's reminds me so much of whats going on in the world today, the confusuion and division of poeple it's caused. Intersting quotes here...
Check out that book, Beach Music if you're ever looking for something to read. (although I doubt you're ever at too much of a loss for that!) It's crude, lots of vulgar language and description... but overall pretty interesting.
