Saw this old (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7d_e9lrcZ8&feature=related#t=12m25s)video @12:25 of Sean Hannity going after Ron Paul in an interview saying the following "Are you saying then that the world has no obligation as in the case of the First Gulf War when an innocent country is being pillaged and people are being raped and murdered and slaughtered or in the case of Saddam if he's gassing his own people are you suggesting we have no moral obligation...you stand by and let that immorality happen?...You would stand by and do that, I would not..I think that's immoral.
Then I remembered reading about Sean Hannity being adamantly against the Kosovo Intervention. I did a search and hit the jackpot. Here (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/2/3/202851/3778)are 2 of the about 15 quotes that contradict him completely. It's on dailykos but the compiler of the quotes does a GREAT job of exposing his hypocrisy.
"Why should one U.S. airman give up his life when our national security is not in imminent danger?"
"Slobodan Milosevic is a bad guy. He's an evil man. Horrible things are happening. I agree with that. Is Bill O'Reilly then saying we go to Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia, Sudan? Where does this stop? And when you look at sheer numbers, 2,000 -- and I'm not minimizing death. It's horrible. What this man is doing with ethnic cleansing is abhorrent, but sheer numbers -- 2,000 killed in the last year versus hundreds of thousands, millions in some cases in other parts of the world. Are you saying the United States should go to all those places?"
"But if you know - every mistake we've made up to this point, there's no stated goal. There's no definition of success. All these important things. There's no exit strategy. One mistake after another. Why would you go in deeper when we have not been successful up to this point? That seems to me to be folly."
I'm going to try to get this up on digg...hopefully it will take. Digg if you can http://digg.com/political_opinion/Sean_Hannity_opposes_war_for_lack_of_exit_strategy
