PHILADELPHIA - The head of a political group that helped Bill Clinton become president in 1992 said Democrats need to claim more credit for military victories in Afghanistan and Iraq if they are to win the White House in 2004.

[Always Right]

"Bill Clinton's military won the war in Afghanistan, and it won the war in Iraq," he said.

I am glad the Democrats now see these victories as something to take credit for. But the military budget was the only part of the budget Clinton could see cutting year after year. I am not sure too many people with a brain will buy into this.

Now let's review the checklist???

Failed war, lot's of dead Americans, Bush's military.

Pound your enemy into last century oblivion, minimal civilian and American casualties, Clinton's military.

Dow 7000, NSDC 1200, is Bush's economy.

Dow 9000, NSDC 2000, must mean Clinton's economy is returning, just next month.

Democrats are the most intellectually dishonest and amoral beings on the face of this planet.

In biblical times, Jesus Christ would have been Clinton's baby.

From said Clinton doesn't get the acclaim he deserves for leaving a well-prepared military to his successor, George W. Bush.

Yeah right. The tag team Clinton's and their sycophant hiearchy used the military as their their own little social experiment.

And the fact that Clinton was a draft dodger and hasn't publicly dismissed his own letter to the draft board where the famous Clinton quote of "loathing" the miltary comes from, affords the above italicized passage by Al From no crediblity what so ever.

It is foolish for anyone to believe that because
of Afghanistan and Iraq our military is perfect.

Basicly, those foes were too weak to expose the
damage done to the military by Clinton
and that damage has actually not be fixed
yet.

We still have lots of Clinton Generals and Admirals.
We still have the feminization campaign going on.

We need to be fixing these problems so we can
be fully prepared for foes like China.

And in the long run, the foe that will our greatest
one the evil empire rising in Europe.

Bwahahaha! Go for it! I dare ya!

"Bill Clinton's military won the war in Afghanistan, and it won the war in Iraq," he said.

The Truth About Clinton’s Military

Cleaning Up More Clinton Crap: Should liberated Iraqis thank Clinton for a strong U.S. military?

The Clinton Army: [Rebuttal to] Left Claims Clinton Helped Military

This Is Not Bill Clinton's Military

[votelife]

the problems is the Dems played virtually NO ROLE in the victories. If they had their true way, the military would have been gutted even more and the UN would have veto over our foreign policy (except when a liberal Clinton wants to bomb to distract from his womanizing)

[yoe]

From said Clinton doesn't get the acclaim he deserves for leaving a well-prepared military to his successor, George W. Bush.

Okay, here is where those that had to serve under that failed commander in chief, tells all as to no live fire, no new weapons, no pay, failing aircraft, severely stripped down navy, service men and women having to serve under foreign commands for the United Nations - against the US Constitution, the list is long and ugly. Bill Clinton and his administration used Department of Defense funding for other things such as travel for the Clintons and Ron Brown/Clinton(Vernon Jordan who figures in here somewhere) commerce flights.

This should really open up a whole 'nother can of worms this fool Al From apparently isn't aware of.

Dig deep FReepers and post here...Bill Clinton left the United States Military in tatters and Hillary had no use for them except to carry her files and bags.

The DemocRAT response to the Wars have been FUBAR from the first day.

My favorite interview was Sen. Edwards on CNN whining that we were doing nothing in Afghanistan being interrupted by breaking news that Afganistan was being attacked.

Centrist Democrat blah blah blah... (huh?)

Mercury News blah blah blah... (aha)

[Impy]

I guess Stalin would mearly have "left-leaning tendencies" then.
