Pop Quiz

From Republic of Dogs--saw it at The Poor Man

Who said this?

"You can support the troops but not the president."


and

"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...these questions are still unanswered. There are no clarified rules 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."

and

"Bombing a sovereign nation for ill-defined reasons with vague objectives undermines the American stature in the world. The international respect and trust for America has diminished every time we casually let the bombs fly."


Answer.

Who said this?

"[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. [This] do[es] not make for a sound foreign policy."


Answer.

Who?

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


Answer.

And finally:

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


Here's a hint for the last one: miserable failure.
