Clinton had a plan for Kosovo which maximized effect and minimized US casualties. Bush has neither.

Oliver Willis has a post with some great memories from the Clinton years.

Then maybe you can tell us who the Democrates were who said “the words of George Bush and Rick Santorum put the lives of our troops at risk,” or which one said “You don’t have to look any farther than Joe Scarborough’s words to see what the real motives of conservatives are.”

Which of the Dems said those things, Vincent?

And is the tenor of Democratic “criticism” of the war not almost a mirror image of all three of the above cited quotes? Have “no planning, no exit-strategy, total disaster” not been trotted out constantly? Is there not debate in Congress about demanding a “timetable” to get us out of what Ted Kennedy (and others) has repeatedly called “a quagmire”?

Where’s the generalization? All I see is role-reversal.

Wait. That’s not what you were trying to prove with this little “gotcha!” game, was it?

Well, good try anyways, champ.

“Bombing a sovereign nation for ill-defined reasons with vague objectives undermines the American stature in the world. The international respect and trust for America has diminished every time we casually let the bombs fly. We must stop giving the appearance that our foreign policy is formulated by the Unabomber.”
– Floor Statement on Resolution on Peacekeeping Operations in Kosovo, 3/11/99

They must have been some cold-hearted killers.

So, instead of influencing them to be more like us. They shocked-and-awed us to make us more like them.

In the kid world, you’re either a bully, a toady, or one of the hapless rabble of victims. In the grown-up world…, it’s the same.
