>Ragheads don't realize that the Americans only cut and run when the Democrats are in the White House.

I'm not defending Clinton, but don't make such large generalizations. It was a Republican who cut his losses against the Chinese and North Koreans in the '50s and it was another Republican who took over in '68 only to pull us from Vietnam in '73. I also believe it was a Republican who blew a golden opportunity to get rid of Hussein in the Gulf War.

Unfortunately, there are no guarantees no matter who is in the White House.

FYI the concept that Bush should have taken out Hussein in 1991 is Rat propaganda.

The US, the UN and the coalition all agreed that the objective was to get Iraq out of Kuwait, and that sanctions and the no-fly zone, which were all approved by the same parties, was the mechanism by which Saddam would be controlled.

It was Klintoon and the Democrats who let Saddam out of the bag by not wasting him the minute he kicked out the UN inspectors.

As usual, the GOP will make things right.

The Koreans are contained, the leftist press and hippies(the same ones trying to screw up our attack on Iraq) are the ones who got 57,000 brave Americans killed for nothing, Nixon pulled out because the LEFT HAD DESTROYED THE NATIONS WILL TO FIGHT.

Moderates are clueless.

Your short memory is showing --- Don't you remember how the dems and the left were up in arms about the blood bath in Iraq and how we needed to live by the UN mandate. Defend the toon all you want he will go down in history as a piece of crap.

Not so. It was a Democrat, Truman, who allowed us to get placed in a police action, instead of winning the Korean War, even after MacArthur brilliantly saved the day with the landing in Inchon. Ike got us out of a mess.

And, in 1964, it was a Democrat, Lyndon Johnson, that allowed us to get sucked into a war that was based on a totally fabricated incident, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and then we were not allowed to fight to win. Again a Republican had to finish the job. And it ended when we finally flexed our incredible military muscle and almost bombed Hanoi and Haiphong back into the Stone Age.

When we saw what they did to our prisoners of war, we should have gone back and finished the job.

Maybe you better go back and read some history.
Nixon mined haipong harbor and brought the north to
the negociation table in ernest.
George Bush was acting under a UN mandate.
