FDR hired Eisenhower (conservative) to run his war.
Truman - had the courage to take out Japan - and it saved the world.
JFK was tough - but he also was wimpy - as the Bay of Pigs event proved.
LBJ totally screwed up Vietnam. He allowed politics to run the war - and they were the same people who hated the war. It's no wonder it was a mess. And with American "supporters" like Cronkite and Kerry .. it was doomed to be a failure.
There is no doubt in my mind that had Kerry been elected, Iraq would already have become our worst nightmare.
These dems are anti-war and they CANNOT lead the country during war time - and the WOT is a WAR whether or not the dems will admit it.
