Bush: For Exit Strategies and Timetables Before He Was Against Them

@ 08:06 PM (14 months, 27 days ago)

What a difference a few years make!  Courtesy of Political Wire, check out these quotes from George W. Bush when Bill Clinton was Commander-in-Chief.  Seems like Dear Leader has done a little flipping and flopping when it comes to exit strategies and timetables.

"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is."

-- George W. Bush, 4/9/99, criticizing President Clinton for not setting a timetable for exiting Kosovo.

"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it's also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn."

-- George W. Bush, 6/5/99
