Clinton, Dole Back Troops, Blast Critics

[lee635]

"PRESIDENT CLINTON: I do agree, Senator. Our troops and commanders should have our support and our patience, especially in a conflict that's only two weeks old.

As my Secretary of Defense Bill Cohen said this week, it only took the critics about five days before they started questioning the military action I ordered in Kosovo. Senator Dole, you didn't join that chorus then, either, and I was proud to have your support. "

It was almost funny... Discuss the troops in Iraq... Well when I did Kosovo... Like what does Kosovo have to do with Iraq, or are you just trying to scream me too, me too I did have military action when I was President...

I suspect whatever Mr. Clinton had said, you two would have felt obliged to slight him. So we can't say anything against Mr. Bush because it might endanger the troops, but Mr. Clinton is fair game...

Well Mr. Clinton remarks in past point/counterpoint sessions has at least been on the subject they were supposed to be on. This time it was like I do not like the question, so I will answer a different question. I have respected his opinion on the past answers, but I have not agreeds with all his opinions.

I suspect whatever Mr. Clinton had said, you two would have felt obliged to slight him.Mr Clinton has been bad mouthing the current president and this process since it was a pipe dream weeks ago. He suddenly realizes that things are not going the way that he thought they would and does a 180 to support the process. This is disgusting.
