"It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it." -Robert E. Lee
DailyKos went ahead and posted a list of quotes from prominent Republicans back when Clinton was sending US troops into Bosnia, where, Kos points out, no Americans died. Here are some choice excerpts from a post you might want to see yourself:
"You can support the troops but not the president."
--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)
Ho ho ho. There's an ongoing meme (how I hate that word) in the progressive blogosphere that we should refer to all these kinds of quotes as "IOKIYAR" or, in other words, it's OK if you're a Republican. You know it's true.
Speaking of which, all of John Roberts' writings on affirmative action have all of a sudden turned up missing. Will we be this consistently awesome when we finally take our government back?
