In Their Own Words


Excerpts from Daily Kos' amazing list of quotes on the topic of Clinton sending troops to Bosnia (where not one was KIA):
Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is.
- Governor George W. Bush

If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy.
- Karen Hughes, speaking on behalf of George W. Bush
I honestly don't understand why when I write the same thing, people claim I'm some sort of unpatriotic heretic.

Yes, this is one of the few times I agree with W, but he's absolutely right: Victory means exit strategy. No exit strategy means quagmire. Quagmire means our troops die, and we fail to accomplish democracy in Iraq.
