Boehner Voted For Somalia Withdrawal, Now Claims We Can’t Leave Iraq ‘Like We Did In Somalia’»

In 1993, current House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) voted numerous times to limit the deployment of troops in Somalia, including one bill that set a six-month timeline for the withdrawal of U.S. forces.

Like several other war supporters who once backed timelines, Boehner now attacks those who favor redeploying U.S. troops out of Iraq’s civil war as “defeatists” who want a “date certain for surrender.”

But Boehner has taken this hypocrisy to a new level. Despite clamoring for a withdrawal from Somalia in 1993, he had the temerity to charge yesterday that war critics were “walk[ing] out” on Iraq “just like we did in Somalia.”

Watch it:

Details on Boehner’s Somalia votes below:

Boehner voted to reduce troop timeline in Somalia from one year to six months: “Gilman, R-N.Y., substitute amendment to reduce from one year to six months the authorization of U.S. participation in Somalia and delete the section of the bill complying with the War Powers Resolution of 1973 (PL 93-148).” (House roll call vote #179, 5/25/93)

Boehner voted to move up the deadline to bring troops home from Somalia: “Gilman, R-N.Y., amendment to change the deadline for the removal of U.S. troops in Somalia from March 31, 1994, to Jan. 31, 1994.” (House roll call vote #555, 11/9/93)

Boehner voted against $1.8 billion in funding for the operation in Somalia: “Passage of the bill to provide $1.8 billion in new budget authority in fiscal 1993, including funds for Operation Restore Hope in Somalia.” (House roll call vote #188, 5/26/93)

    …and the chances of the MSM picking up on this discrepancy?……


  8. napu Says:

    wow!
    they are still allowed to speak such nonsense.
    mind is a terrible thing to waste.
    selective memory is amaing isn’t it?

    Boner, shut up and go home.


  10. oldtree Says:

    I am sorry, I just can’t help it. Everything this twit says is funny to anyone that knows the truth. But I can’t help but prefer the commentary that Beavis and Butthead would provide for this fellow.

    There is nothing that he would say that would be any more important than the boys saying “boner” he, haa he ha. yeah, boner, hah hehe

    kind of like our own MSM press corpse in a large way, hmm?


  11. R Madison Says:

    You have accidentally put the Republican’s in the majority…

    “current House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH)”

    The thought alone frightens me…


  12. Abby Says:

    C’mon guys, he is a Republican. What else did you expect?

    Expect this: Post-2008, checks and balances and denying the President the Congressional rubber stamp will become Republican “principles”. Opposition to the President on each and every issue, big or small, will become an integral “part of their job”. The corporate medias will suddenly become “investigative and responsible”.


  13. Sinfonian Says:

    Flip.
    Flop.
    Flip.
    Flop.

    Just another day in Boehner’s brain.

  20. trueblue Says:

    does anyone know of any other word that is spelled with an “oe” as in Boehner

    that is pronounced as a long “a” sound?

    I can’t think of any.
    hmmmm…….

    More of the greatest hits of John Boehner:

    May I remind every one of our Lady Z’s famous quote….SSDD….What a boner this guy realy is give him 2 minute’s and it will change..LOL….Blessings


  23. lestatdelc Says:

    So where are all the GOP trolls trying to spin and excuse this crap? Where are the claims that somehow CLinton did something bad two, so this doesn’t matter?


  24. oscarzoalaster Says:

    Perhaps someone should ask John Boehner if he now believes he should have not voted “to limit the deployment of troops in Somalia, including one bill that set a six-month timeline for the withdrawal of U.S. forces” and if he should have instead supported President Clinton. I would still disagree with Mr. Boehner’s opposition to pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq, but if he repudiates his earlier position he is, at least somewhat, consistent…


  25. Patrick1 Says:

    So we should leave Iraq like we fled Somalia?


  26. gallery Says:

    Puffy Mc Tanbooth sure does have a hard time recalling his own statements.
    He should smack a nicotine patch on his pie hole and STFU.

    Clinton did it, too! So did Pelosi!



  28. trueblue Says:

    Ahhh, Zooey-ism’s.

    Gotta love ‘em.

    Thanks, Sharon.


  29. AlphaLiberal Says:

    Now that Boehner is a Class A Wanker.


  30. eljer Says:

    So a guy can’t vote for something, see bad results from it and then allow his mind to change? He has to be charged with being a hypocrite for learning from his mistakes?


  31. Mike Says:

    The truly shocking thing is that he didn’t say ”We can’t walk out on Iraq like BILL CLINTON did in Somalia.”


  32. Patrick1 Says:

    Should we flee Iraq the way we fled Somalia? Is that a good idea?


  33. valiant venus Says:

    HEADLINE - - “Boehner Voted For Somalia Withdrawal, Now Claims We Can’t Leave Iraq ‘Like We Did In Somalia’”

    So NOW we should criticize John Edwards, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, et al who have “changed” their minds on Iraq? They were thoughtfully changing their mind, right? Or they learned the error in their judgment, right? Or should we applaud them for sticking their fingers in the wind and triangulating with such finesse??

    Your hypocritical inconsitency is telling - but hardly surprising.


  34. Ringo Says:

    Did it ever occur to you that Boehner may have learned the lesson of Somalia?

    Afterall bin-Laden himself cites our retreat from Somalia as another example of the US as a paper lion.

    And, of course, Somalia today is a war-torn basketcase of a country run by warlords and Taliban-like Islamists….Is that the future you so called “liberals” would like to see for Iraq?

    I guess it is.


  35. Patrick1 Says:

    Is leaving Iraq like we left Somalia a good idea?


  36. Tom3 Says:

    Boner didn’t admit he made a mistake. He didn’t even admit the quotes.

    So yes, he is a hypocrite.


  37. Sharon Says:

    #31……LOL…Yah! sure, you betcha…..Like that will work here after all the reich winged evil doer’s have done to our counrty, troop’s and the world..More of the “do as I say”..PZZZZZZZZZ.


  38. Dave C Says:

    Comment by eljer — April 27, 2007 @ 5:12 pm

    That didn’t seem to be the modus operandi when Kerry voted for giving GWB to defend the U.S. against a Middle East threat and then stating that he was against the war in Iraq. It cuts both ways this flip-flop thingy. I don’t recall any of your kind of consideration back in the day. Karma is a bitch eh?


  39. Ben B Says:

    Learn from his mistakes… was he around during Vietnam, or no? We won’t give him as hard of a time if he’d learned from that one…

    ————————————————————–
    We shouldn’t have run with our tail tucked between our legs. Our retreat from Somalia was a great inspiration for al-Qaeda, they cite it often in their videos and taped recordings.

    Now the Ethiopians are in Solalia fighting the fight we left behind.


  42. Patrick1 Says:

    Should we flee Iraq the way we fled from Somalia and the consequences of that retreat?


  43. MADMAX Says:

    It’s embarrassing to admit I’m live in Ohio. Thanks goodness this clown is not my rep.


  44. Kate Henry Says:

    How do you spell Republican? H Y P R O C R I T E!

    These people are stunning in their hypocracy. I bet they really hate the internets. Pesky thing these internets. People can actually look up what I said 10 years ago.

    Comment by eljer - if he had said that he voted to withdraw from Somalia and now sees that it was a big mistake, then I would say that he has learned from his mistakes. But, that’s not what he said. He has probably forgotten what he said that many years ago. And since his belief system is political and not moral, he probably sees no hypocracy in what he has said.

    See SWIFTBOAT - JOHN KERRY and then try your comment again! If THAT does not work, try GOOGLE SWIFTBOAT VETERANS FOR TRUTH and you will see why HIS hypocrisy is so transparent…

    Does anyone have some ointment for his (BONER’s) athlete’s mouth??? It must be very painful to keep on sticking his foot in his mouth this way???

    I second that, Barry.


  48. james k. sayre Says:

    Maybe the good readers of TP need to get up to speed on the sudden murderous interest of the Bush crime family in Somalia and their subrosa support of the Ethiopian occupation of Somalia. A hint:this interest is the same sort of interest B & C have shown in Iraq. Just do a google or a clusty search on “Conoco Somalia Ltd” and check out the first hit. Lots of good background…

    if these clowns didn’t take themselves so seriously, they’d actually be funny. is everyone in the waahhhpublican party stricken with alzheimers?


  50. VictorLaszlo Says:

    Boehner:

    “People who are raised to believe that killing Americans and our allies and that killing freedom and hating freedom is the answer to get to Allah is not just going to go away”

    Those superstitious savages just don’t get it. Everyone knows the truth is that killing Islamocameljockeyoarabifacists and their allies is the answer to get to Gaw-duh.


  51. noncarborundum Says:

    does anyone know of any other word that is spelled with an “oe” as in Boehner that is pronounced as a long “a” sound?

    Actually yes. I used to have a co-worker whose last name was “Schoen”; he pronounced it “Shane”. And he didn’t have the incentive that Boehner has.


  52. republicanSScareme Says:

    Boehner is a known Nazi thug. The good people of Ohio need to kick that lying rat out of office.


  53. FTGOP Says:

    Shorter republic version: “Don’t pull a boner like I did.”

    In German, the second of two vowels is how you pronounce it. But yes, he is a boner!

    What a boner.

    Hmmm..My comments keep geting deleted.

    So much for free speech.

    Beware the f*ck filter…..

    ;)


  58. noncarborundum Says:

    In German, the second of two vowels is how you pronounce it. But yes, he is a boner!

    Not really. “Oe” in German (usually spelled as “ö” (”o” with a dieresis)) is pronounced not as “e” but as a sort of mixture of the two vowels, like the sound of “eu” in French “peu” or “dieu”.


  59. Ringo Says:

    trueblue,

    I didn’t use any profanity. I simply made some remarks about the cost of retreat from Somalia….and how al-Qaeda has used it for propaganda purposes in their videos and tapes.

    Do we really want Iraq to fall into the hands of Taliban-like Islamists the way that Somalia has?

    Boehner is right to learn from the lsson of Somalia.


  60. Fred W Says:

    No, Boehner is a ventriproctologist - he can talk out of his mouth and his ass at the same time.


  61. sm Says:

    In Ohio lots of funny things have happened to the spelling and pronunciation of German names — which are very common.


  62. Fred W Says:

    noncarbo-

    Not quite. “Dieu” would be umlauted “u”… umlauted “o” does, in fact, sound a lot like “o” in “boner”–as a Canuck might pronounce it, eh?


  63. Shane Says:

    I second that, Barry.

    I don’t know, isn’t a Boner a positive thing. How about calling him deBoner.

    Well with Reagan as their one true god …


  65. melior Says:

    Somalia was entirely different! That was a Democratic Commander in Chief, of course, so Boner’s actions were entirely justified.

    Wait, did I say different? I meant setting a timetable and cutting off funding for the military mission back then is exactly the same as the Iraq Accountablility Act. Sheesh, why can’t you people keep up?

    *eye roll*

  70. the Lone Voice of Reason Says:

    How do you pronounce this guys name?


  71. eljer Says:

    “It cuts both ways this flip-flop thingy. I don’t recall any of your kind of consideration back in the day. Karma is a bitch eh?”

    It’s not about revenge, DaveC, it’s about good politics. Do you want a system where a politician is locked in for all time - even 13 years later - for a vote? Or is it better to remember that great Republican, Abraham Lincoln: “As our situation is new, so must we think anew?”


  72. El Cid Says:

    When I heard the Boehner saying that “Sure, we could walk away from Iraq, just like we walked away from Lebanon, just like we walked away from Vietnam,” all I could think to say was, Alright!! Great!!

    I accept his offer!!

    Let’s just walk away from Iraq, just like we walked away from Lebanon and how we walked away from Vietnam.

    Sure, those latter two don’t accurately describe what the US did after pulling its troops out, but hey, good enough.

    If John Boehner is offering for us to now walk away from Iraq, I accept it.


  73. barfly Says:

    As our situation is new, so must we think anew?”

    Comment by eljer

    Sorry, but that’s liberal republican Lincoln. And his situation didn’t include starting an unjust war. His war was just. Try again.


  74. goehl Says:

    Absolutely disgusting how humane life is played with using politics and vanity.


  75. demdandy Says:

    He is such a legendary leader and brave warrior that we should call him Beowulf Boehner. As a matter of fact, if we want to witness his eyes glaze over with incomprehension and ignorance, we should name him Beowulf to his face. Boewulf’s staff of third tier cretins would have to scramble to look it up in the Pat Robertson Dictionary. “Let’s see..Boe…Boe…”


  76. anonymous Says:

    let’s see…there was THE blackhawk in Somalia and how many blackhawks down has there been since operation Iraqi freedom started?


  77. veritas Says:

    John Boehner is a douchbag extraordinaire and a pedophile-enabling sleazebucket to boot. It’s time to begin investigating Boehner and Hastert’s complicity in the pedophile scandal. If he thinks he’s off the hook on that one because there’s more critical corruption to investigate, he’s only half right because we’ll certainly get back to him later to put his butt in jail.


  78. veritas Says:

    demdandy: The only thing the makes Boehner’s eyes glaze over is a teen age boy in very tight pants. This man is a certified sicko.


  79. demdandy Says:

    His name should be Beowulf Boehner, as he is superior in leadership and in combat.


  80. demdandy Says:

    veritas: right you are. as we write, he is being measured for his orange jump suit.

    No. 67 Comment by demdandy — April 27, 2007 @ 7:57 pm

    You said:

    Really?! In combat?? He never made it out of training!

    Here is Wikipedia on his military service.

    During the Vietnam War, he enlisted in the Navy. He was discharged after eight weeks of training because of a bad back.


  82. KingCranky Says:

    #64

    Interesting suggestion, although I’m more partial to “Grendel’s Mother”

    #65

    That worry of multiple legal investigations might explain why Boehner and Hastert were pitching the biggest hissy fits against the FBI’s search of La Rep Wm “Cold Cash” Jefferson’s Congressional offices last year


  83. kasinca Says:

    A cursory investigation will reveal that the people in the Middle East hate our occupation and attempts to force our will on their region is why they hate us…the ignorant Reichwingers could give a shit less…they just lie and try to give the military industrial complex and oil companies what they desire.


  84. kasinca Says:

    Congrats, Boner! You won the “Worst Person in the World”, on Countdown tonight, for this flip flop lie.

    Just another lying hypocrite of the reichwing.

    Thank goodness…

    …there are no repulsivescum…

    …in my sphere…

    …who would DARE reveal him/herself to me…

    …no telling what I might do…


  86. ManipulationNation Says:

    Boehner is full of manipulative Republican talking points:

    1. “When will we stand up and fight?”
    2. In the past, we just “hoped that that the problem would go away. It’s not just going to go away.”
    3. “People who are raised to believe that hating freedom is the answer to get to Allah are not just going to go away.”

    He was on “Meet the Press” on 2-12-07 and his answer to Tim Russert’s first question included:
    — “Victory in Iraq is the only option.”
    — “Iraq is a small part in a global war being waged by radical Islamic terrorists.”
    — “If we don’t have victory in Iraq, the consequences of failure are immense: a destabilized Iraq, a safe haven for terrorists, possible access to their oil revenue, destabilizing the greater Middle East. (And) what happens to Israel?
    — “Who doesn’t believe that if we withdraw and leave that chaos in the Middle East that the terrorists won’t follow us here to the United States?”
    — “Victory, victory is the only option.”

    He seems to be stuck in a pattern.


  87. later.. Says:

    Here is a wimp who would’nt make it through one night of combat in Iraq without soiling himself … and he is calling on our troops to stay in that shooting barrel ? What kind of wimps do they let in the door everyday at the Capital building ? Again, Congressmen should be mandated to serve death notice duty in their districts during time of war. It should be a law. That way, they will be so horrified that they will do one of two things. A) Get us the f_ck out of a bad situation quickly or B) contribute in some meaningful way to end the war as quickly as possible. Here is a man that actually passed out check on the floor of a vote that were given to him by the tobacco lobby. Does anyone actually believe that this man is not taking money from the 1) the military lobby, 2) the gun lobby 3) the oil lobby. He is a male whore, and he makes me puke to look at him.


  88. Eargy Earp Says:

    Yes, John. Keep on hiding behind the bodies of our dead soldiers (not to mention continued Iraqi civilians).

    What a brave, brave man.

    They should send a couple of body bags directly to his office to give him some direct cover. Then he can wallow in their bravery….if he can stand the stench of death.

  91. Roger_Roger Says:

    So to TP, it is wrong for someone to learn from their mistakes? Boehner is correct, but this is obvious. Somolia is a crap hole all because we left before the mission was over. Boehner was wrong to vote for retreat and defeat from Somolia. History has proven him wrong. This post from TP is a tad confusing. Are you saying it is wrong for Boehner to learn from his mistakes? Are you saying he was correct to vote for retreat and lose in Somolia? If so, please explain how Somolia got better because we left. To the average onlooker, the fact that we left Somolia destroyed any chance that country had at democracy and simply looking at the place proves me right.

    So, what is TP upset about?


  92. Lora Says:

    So to TP, it is wrong for someone to learn from their mistakes? Boehner is correct, but this is obvious.

    You certainly don’t learn from mistakes yourself, do you? You spelled Somalia wrong only five times in your post., or maybe you simply didn’t look at it as well as you think.

    God I wish they would show relative voting histories behind their heads when they say crap like that. He can’t even remember what he’s said or how he voted in the past. Just another attack dog…just put the scent on his nose and point and there he goes barking. He’s about as shallow as Laura Bush who suffers most of anybody about Iraq.


  98. Limbaugh's pilonidal cyst Says:

    Well, I hear the man drinks a bit so maybe he really doesn’t remember what he said back then. I just thank god every day that the republican minority is led by this man. It’s all but guaranteeing an even smaller minority as of 11/08. And the idiots will probably still elect him (or someone equally dim, can anyone think of any (R) who’d be an improvement?) as minority leader, all but guaranteeing an even smaller minority in 2010. Etcetera. Etcetera.

    It’s wonderful watching them all circling the bowl, isn’t it?
