Here's a little game for you. See if you can tell who made these statements:
1. "After months of lies, the president has given millions of people around the world reason to doubt that he has sent Americans into battle for the right reasons."
2. "Never underestimate a desperate president."
3. "I cannot support this military action in the Persian Gulf at this time. Both the timing and the policy are subject to question."
4. "The reaction is as close to a betrayal of the interests of the United States as I've ever witnessed in the United States Congress. It's unforgivable and reprehensible."
5. Asked if he was accusing the president of playing with American lives for political expediency, he said, "Whether he knows it or not, that's exactly what he's doing. When you put our troops in the air or on the ground, you are risking their lives. This president ought to know better. I don't know if he does or not, because he's so unpredictable."
6. "...ordered what he called a "strong, sustained" military strike against Iraq on Wednesday in retaliation for its continued failure to cooperate with U.N. weapons inspectors.
I could go on forever, there are a million of these kinds of statements out there. Here are the answers. Be sure to have a nice day.
1. House Majority Leader (at the time) Dick Armey, now Texas State Representative.
2. Rep. Jerry Solomon, (R-NY)
3. Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, (R-MS)
4. Sen. Robert Torricelli, (D-NJ) said this about the GOP reaction to Clinton bombing Iraq
5. Rep. Gerald Solomon, (R-NY)
6. This is the reason Clinton gave for the strike against Iraq.
So wasn't that a fun trip down memory lane?
All of these statements were made about President Clinton as he was bombing Iraq.
I will now LAUGH in the face of anyone who demands loyalty to this president. You are all hypocrites when you wrap yourselves in the flag, cloak yourselves in righteousness, and demand blind allegiance and support. Your people lent neither the last time around. And these are the same people who are now calling for all dissenters' heads on a platter.
How dare you ever open up your mouth to call another person un-American for not supporting Bush. And the ironic thing is, by the very standards YOU SET FOR US, if you didn't support Clinton when he bombed Iraq, YOU are the traitor. YOU are the un-American one.
So ask yourself; when Clinton was going through impeachment, did you support him? No, you say??? And why not? He was bombing the same bad guy as Bush. And I can find no statistics on a single American casualty. He was doing it for the same reason as Bush (nudgenudge, winkwink), and he had a hell of a lot more support from the rest of the world.
When our soldiers are risking their lives to protect America, isn't that when we're all suppose to forget whatever was going on the day before and get behind our president?
Doesn't matter if you agree with his policies.
Doesn't matter if he's a big fat liar and has been proven to be so.
Doesn't matter if his reasons are self-serving.
Think about that the next time you get ready to flog someone with your pretty new flag.
Because your flags, are indeed, new.
