I've done more with a better plan for jobs here in eight days than this president's done in two and a half years,
It's all smoke and mirrors designed to hide the stark fact that he has no real plan for our future,
We've hit at his power plants because they're essential to running every part of his military machine, ... and this has proven to be effective.
He had a well-organized plan and he pursued it in a criminal and certainly an inhumane and tragic manner. And now that everybody is on the ground here, we're finding more and more evidence of this.
You have to take a plan that might work and make it work
We feel that NATO had to act as it did,
We're in there without a strategy to win, and without a strategy to exit properly, and now the president's asked for $87 billion to prosecute it,
The positive and negative indications right now are that Milosevic has made a half compromise and he is still defying the will of the international community on other issues,
We know we will be able to work this out, as soldiers always do,
I will strengthen them so that we can solve problems together, so that the use of military force is our last resort, not our first, and if America must act with force we can call on the military, financial, and moral resources of others.
I think his disadvantage is that he doesn't seem to know who he is and he doesn't know what his policies are.
It is definitely succeeding in putting the pressure on at the strategic and at the tactical level,
Our men and women fighting in Iraq are held accountable for their performance and their conduct. On duty and off, twenty-four hours a day. They're fighting for us, for our safety, our rights, and our freedoms.
Staying the course is not a strategy, it is just a slogan. ... We have a long way to go before victory, or at least some measure of success, is assured.
