How did you turn this into an illegal immigration thread? Can you people give this man a credit for telling us news about VICTORY?

Inchon crushed the N.K forces that had us trapped with are backs to the water (Dunkirk 2) and threatening to over run us. After Inchon American forces owned all of Korea. It took a massive intervention by communist China to reverse the successes made possible by Inchon.

It's a Graham thread. he gets credit for things only after making amends for grievous wrong done. Which in amnesty pushers cases, this means being justly booted out of office.

No ho doesn't get to claim things are right again with just words.

Heh. That’ll leave a mark. Wonder how many Enemedia outlets will pick this one up?

When I hear the name Lindsey Graham, I automatically think treason open border, bring on the NAU, so it doesn't surprise me that others think that way. The man is a Mugwump with his mug on one side of the fence and his wump on the other side. The only reason he has for speaking well of the war is to save his own hide. He will quickly turn on it again just as soon as it suits his purposes.

Some people don’t see victory in Iraq as a priority.

It is a thread about VICTORY in Iraq, but it seems your hatred is blinding you from seeing victory and you just focus on the messenger.
