That will make a great campaign slogan.
I hope they choose to use it.
LOL, you should print up bumper stickers.
I can name quite a few differences between McCain and Bush, some good some not so good. But really, there ain’t a dimes worth of difference between Jimmah and Hussein.
And a first term for George McGovern
Got toilet paper?
Let’s add up the cost of Jimmy Carter’s appeasement policy so far:
In 1975, Saddam Hussein attempted to invade Iran following a dispute over the Shatt al-Arab River. The Shah beat back his forces in just four days, forcing Saddam to sign a treaty between the two countries.
In 1980, Saddam abrogated the treaty, reinvaded Iran, launching the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq War that claimed a million lives on both sides.
The Shah was a staunch anti-Communist and a key US ally. After the collapse of the Pahlavi Dynasty, the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, hoping to use Afghanistan as a springboard to taking over Iran’s warm-water ports in the Persian Gulf.
Invading Afghanistan is something the Soviets would never have dared to consider — prior to the Shah’s fall.
The Iran-Iraq war would not have taken place if the Shah had still remained in power. Neither would the invasion of Afghanistan, which gave rise to both the Taliban and al-Qaeda.
Nor is it likely that Saddam would have made his move against Kuwait, had there been a US-friendly Pahlavi regime next door in Iran. The First Gulf War, with its attending casualties, would not have been necessary. Nor the 12 year air war over the Iraq ‘no-fly’ zone.
Osama bin-Laden would not have risen to power as leader of the anti-Soviet Afghani mujahadeen, so the September 11 attacks may never have happened.
The War in Afghanistan would not have taken place in 2002. The 2003 invasion of Iraq would not have been necessary.
The cost of appeasing Islamic terrorists by abandoning the Shah comes to more than a million dead in four wars, thirty years of Iranian-backed Islamic terrorism, the total collapse of US influence in the region, and the relative certainty of at least one more war in the Middle East.
Totally oblivious to his legacy thus far, Carter continues to promote appeasement as the best way to deal with threats like Hamas, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, North Korea — with the unrestricted support of the American Left, including at least two presidential candidates.
