Bush's Time Table Flip Flop

In 1999, George W. Bush criticized President Clinton for not setting a timetable for exiting Kosovo:

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."

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also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn."

Yet, more recently...

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."
