I thought maybe this would be a good thread where we can post hypocritical flip flopping of our politicians.

"You can support the troops but not the president."
--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)
"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."
--Joe Scarborough (R-FL)
"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?"
--Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/6/99
"[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."
--Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA)
"American foreign policy is now one huge big mystery. Simply put, the
administration is trying to lead the world with a feel-good foreign policy."
--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)
"If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have
a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy."
--Karen Hughes, speaking on behalf of George W Bush
"I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning . . I didn't
think we had done enough in the diplomatic area."
--Senator Trent Lott (R-MS)

WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, April 29) -- Bruised after a House vote on a Democratic measure of support for the NATO air campaign in Kosovo unexpectedly failed Wednesday, House Democratic leaders Thursday accused Republicans of playing politics with international policy matters while the White House did its best to shrug off the congressional rebuke.
