Who Said The Following?

Who said the following?:

You can support the troops but not the president."

"Well, I just think it's a bad idea. What's going to happen is they're going to be over there for 10, 15, maybe 20 years."

"Explain to the mothers and fathers of American servicemen that may come home in body bags why their son or daughter have to give up their life?"

"[The] President . . . is once again releasing American military might on a foreign country with an ill-defined objective and no exit strategy. He has yet to tell the Congress how much this operation will cost. And he has not informed our nation's armed forces about how long they will be away from home. These strikes do not make for a sound foreign policy."

"If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy."

"I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning . . I didn't think we had done enough in the diplomatic area."

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

Doesnt really matter from where they are taken. What does matter is that every single one of them is true... sadly...

Don't smoke...but I'll treasure it forever.

And you're right; people should watch what they say when they're being partisan...sometimes it cuts both ways. Example: a bumper sticker I saw some time ago: "I love my country but I don't trust my government". A noble sentiment, but those same people are now saying "If you disagree with me, you're unAmerican (or a traitor, or worse)".
