You mean in places like Somalia, Vietnam and Korea? Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Democratic administrations were in control of the White House during these periods.
Please. You can’t just throw in Somalia with Vietnam and Korea.
Over two years we lost what, 50 people?
As compared with Vietnam and Korea, who’s casualty lists are miles long?
Not to mention that history is considering Truman to be one of the best Presidents the country has ever had.
And the White House was under Republican control from 1968- 1973- which were the worst years of Vietnam. That’s an equal blame war, you can’t pin that solely on the Democrats.
So what, now wars are measured in body counts? When those of us in favor of being in Iraq point out that this is the lowest body count war in history, you guys wrap yourself in the flag and bemoan even one death. But here you are syaing “50’s not that bad, and can’t be compared with the others”.
Oh stop. The premise of both of those wars was completely different. Somalia was far more of a humanitarian effort that went wrong in Mogadishu. The war that took place in Somalia, and that takes place in Africa today, is always more about internal conflicts and civil strife as opposed to a first world nation attacking them.
Iraq was a massive invasion of a soveriegn state- far different that Somalia.
The point is, all of the wars mentioned were started by the dems. That is a fact.
Vietnam was a purely democrat instigated war. Your worthless piece of shit murdering president, LBJ was part and parcel to the escalations. It was Nixon who got us out.
Nicaragua? Panama? Grenada? The First Gulf War? The Spanish American War? And they were on the same scale of Somalia, so if you’re still trying to use that there you go.
These are all wars started by Republicans.
On top of that, it wasn’t young Republicans in the street protesting and causing the shitstorm at home about Vietnam which eventually led to us getting out. And that murdering piece of shit Nixon escalated that war just as badly as LBJ, if not more, as well as invading (Seceretly, of course) other nations to try to strike the Viet Cong.
There’s blood on both parties for Vietnam, don’t even think that because Nixon got us out in his SECOND term as President that this absolves Republicans.[/quote]
Yeah and Bosnia and Somalia too! Oh wait that was Clinton, my bad…
Hey maybe if he pulled his dick out of Monica for long enough he could have done something about the terrorists before it got this bad.
