let's play a game

[Dr.Jeckyl]

Who said these quotes?:



[list=1]
* "You can support the troops but not the president.
* "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."
* "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?" <-- I guarantee you will get this one wrong.
* "[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."
* "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."
* "If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy."
* "I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning . . I didn't think we had done enough in the diplomatic area."
* "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"
* "Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is."
* "Let me tell you what else I'm worried about: I'm worried about an opponent who uses nation building and the military in the same sentence. See, our view of the military is for our military to be properly prepared to fight and win war and, therefore, prevent war from happening in the first place."
[/list]Let's play fair and GUESS who said these quotes, no googleing and cheating.

 I'll give the answers after a few quesses.

[Dr.Jeckyl]

anyone?

[MrCouch]

1. Tom Delay(r-tx)

thats the only one i know

[SilentEdge]

It was Bush.

[SODsniper]

Well, speaking of #1 it is impossible to "support" the troops but NOT support Bush vis a vis the War on Terror.

You either support the troops (ALL the troops) or you do not.  Anything different is just Politically Correct wishy-washy BS.

I'll throw in some guesses. I have no idea- but I'd guess several of these statements were made during other campaigns, not all of these are directly related to OIL, er, I mean, Operation Iraqi Freedom...

You have to wonder if the title 'Operation Iraqi Liberty' wasn't floated by some higher-ups before someone finally put two and two together and realized what a collosal f*ck-up that name would be.

I dont see how its impossible, when theres troops over there that dont agree with why theyre there in the first place. why are they there? because they enrolled in the military.  its their job to enforce Bush's decision. so one could support the troops for the sake of their lives, and not agree with why they are there

[SilentEdge]

Last thing before I go hide in a hole again for awhile.

I do see a difference between supporting the war and supporting the troops. However, actively undermining an American war effort while troops are still on the ground is hardly supportive of the troups. I dunno, I'm kind of sick of these threads all about the same thing. At least we got rid of the troll.

No more Sniper?  :1 (6):

[MONOLITH]

#3 was Sean Hannity.

your absolutly right, but letters, email chat, phonecalls, photos, telegrams, gifts and "come home soon" cards can work wonders. im sure you can also donate some blood and still not be supportive of the war

/off topic

on topic

is the answer to number 9 john kerry?

[SilentEdge]

I'm pretty sure they're all Bush.

[MONOLITH]

You just always have 'bush' on your mind.  :wink:

[SilentEdge]

What can I say. That's why I'm your hero.

[Dr.Jeckyl]

ok i guess the answers are due before the thread gets too off topic.

 i just find it funny how all of these quoted people have said the EXACT opposite now of what they said back during Clinton's term.

[MONOLITH]

Indeed.

But. Keep in mind, this is the attribute of politicians, all politicians, not just Republicans, as this game intends to imply.

I can create the same game in reverse, with quotes from all liberal democrats.
