“Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is.”
And on the specific need for a timetable:
George W. Bush, 6/5/99, Scripps Howard/Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
“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it’s also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn.”
Despite his past statements, Bush now refuses to apply the same standard to his war and smears those who want a similar timetable for Iraq.

Very interesting as to who is and who is not responding to these comments, perhaps they have to read Captains Quarters, Town Hall or Drudge to know how to change the topic, confuse the issue, start talking about Billy Blue Dress or something else irrevelent.

Kosovo wasn't authorized by congress. Iraq was. Therefore, Iraq is the CIC's puppy. Furthermore, because the action in Kosovo was not authorized with congressional legislation, it fell under the War Powers Resolution which restriced action to 60 days. Now, don't get me wrong here, I supported action in Kosovo, and much like today, the politics of the times tended to dictate who said want, and what positions were taken with respect to what was going on. Dem president taking action, repub house/senate *****ing about it. Repub president taking action, Dem house/senate *****ing about it. Where I see your point in citing GW's words from '99 and what he's facing today, the situations were completely different with respect to the arguements, and legal issues being made.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him." Leo Tolstoy, 1897

Guess this and all the bi..tching makes your point right, GWB never said any of this in the right context therefore it was ok for him to say it and not have it apply to any other situation. "Victory means exit strategy" does not apply at all in this situation, I think that is what John Kerry was talking about in the last election.. however, his message got real confused. Before everyone gets their tightie whiteys in a bunch I do not like Kerry, but I think this is what he was talking about.

IIRC...the GOp was also seriously mulling slashing funding for the troops in the Balkans. But then something crazy happened....Clinton and the multinational forces led us to victory and Milosovic was tried and convicted.
Am I way off here???
