IS BUSH FLIP-FLOPPING ON TIMETABLES AND EXIT STRATEGIES?


[+] serious ballot by cranky
ACTIVE Wed May 02, 07 - Mon Jan 25, 10

Flashback to 1999, when George W. Bush was governor of Texas. Then, Bush criticized President Clinton for not setting a timetable for exiting Kosovo.

George W. Bush, 4/9/99, Houston Chronicle:

“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it’s also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn.”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.(Think Progress)

for him, or for his handlers to be more accurate, everything is about political expediency.

Excellent point, actually.

In both cases: Iraq and Kosovo, a occupation phase after the war is necessary for stabilisation and nation-building.

Yes. We can't stay in Iraq forever. They should set a timetable for withdrawal of troops.
