Why did george w bush FLOP FLOP when it comes to his opinion of timetables?

Bush demands timetable…in 1999
Thursday, May 03, 2007 – FreeMarketNews.com

Back when George W. Bush was still governor of Texas and thinking of running for president, he took the time to criticize President Clinton for not setting a timetable for withdrawal from Kosovo, according to Think Progress.

Bush told the Houston Chronicle in April 1999 that a president needs to define to the American people what an exit strategy is. In June 1999, Bush told The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, “I think it’s also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they [troops] will be involved and when they will be withdrawn.”

President Bush vetoed a bill, as promised, Tuesday that contained a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq, according to AFP. “Setting a deadline for withdrawal is setting a date for failure, and that would be irresponsible,” he said.

    Because war is not predictable. He planned to be out of there much faster. It just didn’t work out that way.

    Oh don’t be so hard on him, he doesn’t know how long it will take to steal all the oil.

    Totally different situation. A timetable for withdrawing from Iraq would simply set the date at which the US chooses to lose the war.

  7. Kelly P says:

    Because neocons hate Bill Clinton.
