Mystery Right-Wing Talking Points Theatre 3000

Agitprop found a list of things young armchair warriors are being told to say when asked: Why, if you support the war, aren't you serving? Get this:
Where were these leftists when Clinton was sending our troops to Kosovo, Somalia, and Haiti? They weren't signing up then.


Unless my memory escapes me, when Clinton was sending our troops to Kosovo, Somalia and Haiti...we had enough troops to do the job. In Iraq, we don't, which is kind of the point. It's called walking the walk if you're gonna talk the talk.
The troops in our programs tell us it is so important to continue the battle of ideas on campuses and to support the men overseas through programs like what we did with Freedom Alliance to send needed supplies and thank you notes over there during the conference.

Well, first of all, this is a run-on sentence and...wait a minute. Thank you notes? Thank you notes? "Dear G.I. Thank you for putting your life on the line to...um...find WMD's...no wait it was...to prevent the further rise of terrorism...no, that's not it either, I...to bring Democracy and freedom to a land that sorely needs and wants...oh, darn! Oh well, just thanks for whatever it is that you're doing over there. All of us here at the frat house really appreciate it, that is, when we're not too busy smoking bongs and gang-banging some sorority slut. You be careful out there!"

Clinton also had international backing for Haiti and Kosovo. And unless my memory is playing tricks on me, didn't George Bush the Elder initially send troops into Somalia?
