Who is it that we're turning power over to that were responsible for the horrible decision making process that was the Vietnam War? Most of the people who called shots back then are dead now, or out of government/military, and most of them were democrats. It was the kennedy then johnson administrations that started the war after all, and started it on a blatant lie. The Turner Joy never having been fired on by the North Vietnamese, but Johnson got on nation wide TV and claimed it was anyway, to turn it into a war big war for his Brown and Root buddies. I don't see how any of the conservatives currently leading the conservative movement can at all be blamed for the disaster that was Vietnam. I'm not sure what you mean.

I don't either. The only person I can remotely think of would be Rumsfeld as he served under Nixon and Ford.

Ted Kennedy and John Kerry to name just two. I was not blaming conservatives and apologize if I misled you. I was blaming the people who got us into the war, then turned on and cut off support to a regime we had promised to help. I am very much afraid that we are in the process of handing the conduct of U.S. foreign and defense policy back to the Dem's and that has been a disastrous thing to do for more than 35 years.
