Trent Lott didn't support our troops! He's unpatriotic, the bastard! Not supporting our president in a time of war! Sound familiar? :eyes: :P

But in an extraordinary rebuke of the president's foreign policy, Mr. Lott, said he opposed the air assault on suspected Iraqi chemical, nuclear and biological weapons sites, arguing that the attacks were ineffective.


“I cannot support this military action in the Persian Gulf at this time,” Mr. Lott said in a statement, infuriating the White House. “Both the timing and the policy are subject to question.”


For months, Mr. Lott has criticized the administration for failing to take more aggressive steps to topple Saddam Hussein. Under pressure from Congress, Mr. Clinton enacted the Iraq Liberation Act in October, which earmarked $8 million to support Iraqi political opposition. But in a letter to Mr. Clinton on Wednesday, Mr. Lott and five other Senate Republicans said only $58,000 of that money has been spent.
