away from home. These strikes do not make for a sound foreign policy."

16. "I cannot support a failed foreign policy. History teaches us that it is often easier to make war than peace. This administration is just learning that lesson right now. The President began this mission with very vague objectives and lots of unanswered questions. A month later, these questions are still unanswered. There are no clarifiedrules of engagement. There is no timetable. There is no legitimate definition of victory. There is no contingency plan for mission creep. There is no clear funding program. There is no agenda to bolster our overextended military. There is no explanation defining what vital national interests are at stake. There was no strategic plan for war when the President started this thing, and there still is no plan today"
-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)

Sounds to me like these are a bunch of "defeatist" "pin heads" who dont understand that war is ugly. Especially the last guy I mean imagine if we told our enemy how long they had to wait us out in Kosovo. These guys probably couldnt wait for american jets to get shot down so they could undermine the war effort*i dont honestly believe that*

I know the links are highly biased but the quotes are not lies. They said it. We say it. So stop calling us retards who "just dont understand" I understand that the crimes against humanity were just about even in both countrys and I understand Auto Accidents kill way more people than both these wars. So if we're going to spend a trillion dollars lets build roads and widen highways.
