Among today's leftist Democrats, that's true.
But as I recall, the only American President to authorize a nuclear attack on another country was Democrat Harry Truman.
And during the Cuban Missile Crisis, arguably the closest we've come to dealing with a live nuclear situation, it was Democrat JFK in the Oval Office who faced down the USSR.
None of today's Democrats would be fit to polish the shoes of either of those old-time Dems, of course. By today's Dem reckoning, those old guys would be classed as conservatives.
“faced down the USSR”
Actually he negotiated. He agreed to remove US missiles from Turkey, which was the equivalet of Russian missiles in Cuba. That would be a tit for tat candy assed response. In addition, because he is a great negotiator, he threw in a promise that the US would never attack Cuba. That invited wars all over the southern hemisphere (Angola, Nicaragua, etc...) As Cuban troops poped up in every Socialist hellhole in South America and Africa.
For all his faults, Bush would have made those sites dissapear after fortifying Guantanamo.
Just a question....The Tehran Hostage crisis and China forcing our Orion NSA plane to the ground and stealing our technology and capabilities. Do you think that would have happened with Bush at the helm? Strenth and the projection of that strenth has many advantages.
