I’ve hated this POS since 1976 when he became Arkansas AG and then Gov in 1978. In my first real election (I turned 18 late 1977) I voted him out along with most of Ark at the time of the Reagan revolution.

Why Ark put him in again in 1982 is beyond me.

We did win the war. We won big.

It was the peace which Obama lost.

I'll go one step farther. The United States will not win another war. PERIOD
We have not fought a war to win since WWII or since the Joint Chiefs of Staff were created. We have fought “police actions” holding to the preexisting situations that only invite further problems. Our only chance to change this disgusting record is to fight a damn war to WIN. Knock the snot out of the enemy, not by words like Obummer but by destroying the enemy, killing all who support them and leave them with the “NOTION” to not fuck with the USA. We are just too damned nice to our enemies.

Food for thought: DOES ANYONE THINK THAT WE WILL BE BUYING CARS OR COMPUTERS FROM IRAQ, IRAN OR AFGHANISTAN?

We did a fine job of winning that war. The Iraqi people held elections and installed a new government. The current POS in the White House prematurely pulled our troops out and surrendered Iraq to ISIS.

+1. One other thing - need to tell the UN and its minions to take a long walk on a short pier in gator infested waters.

SORRY SERIAL RAPIST CLINTON, WE WON, THE US MILITARY KICKED TAIL AND TOOK NAMES. EVEN THE IDIOT OBAMA ADMITTED IRAQ WAS STABLE! Then dumb butt Obama pulled the troops out to early and gave away the candy store! Bush said exactly what would happen if we pulled out to soon. The community organizer we call “president “ THOUGHT he was smarter than Bush and the military leaders and gave a vacuum the area that allowed ISIS to fill the vacuum.

He is every bit as stupid as Obama with a bit more charm as seen by the Sandra Flicks of the world.

Actually willy boy, the only thing proven is that democrats have been incapable of allowing America to win a war since 1945. They even turned the success of the first Iraq war into a defeat.

The only thing that has been proven to date is that we can't win a land war in Asia with a Democrat President.

Truman in Korea
LBJ in Vietnam
Obama in Afghanistan

What 'rat strategy, Bill Criminal? DEFEAT? LOL! Doesn't it depend on what the definition of ISIS (Islamic State IS)?

And there it is! I told my boys that just like Vietnam nam, it would become “common knowledge” that we lost the Iraq war. Their sons would be taught it in school.

That war was won and sabataged by the democrats just like Vietnam nam.
