FUN WITH ARCHIVE DIVING: EXIT TIMETABLES, THEN AND NOW


[+] ballot by Cathexis
created Tue Jun 28, 05

Interestingly, if you go back a ways, in 1999, George W. Bush criticized President Clinton for not setting a timetable for exiting Kosovo:

George W. Bush, 4/9/99:

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

On the specific need for a timetable, here's what Bush said then and what he says now:

George W. Bush, 6/5/99 (then):

"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it's also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn."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, 6/24/05 (now):

"It doesn't make any sense to have a timetable. You know, if you give a timetable, you're -- you're conceding too much to the enemy."

So ... what's with the about-face?

Flip-flopping away
nitpicking liberals

Kerry(paraphrasing): "I voted for the war but only before I voted against the war." Now, Cath, people say Bush is stubborn. I guess he should have stuck to plan A huh? You honestly think its better to tell the enemy your plans? Please...

Apparently Bushy does...or did.

Clet: I'm not complaining about his stance on this topic; I am complaining about his political opportunism and hypocrisy in labeling others "flip floppers."

^Gotcha. However, name a politician who hasn't done that lol.
