In 1999, Bush Demanded A Timetable

In 1999, Bush Demanded A Timetable


In 1999, George W. Bush criticized President Clinton for not setting a timetable for exiting Kosovo, and yet he refuses to apply the same standard to his war.


George W. Bush, 4/9/99:


“Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is.”


And on the specific need for a timetable, here’s what Bush said then and what he says now:


George W. Bush, 6/5/99



“I think it’s also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn.”

George W. Bush, 6/24/05:


“It doesn’t make any sense to have a timetable. You know, if you give a timetable, you’re — you’re conceding too much to the enemy.”
