It wasn't our job to "finish."

Why not?

Why not?

Because to form that coalition we did, everyone agreed the mandate was only to dislodge him from Kuwait.

Looking at Congress, the courts and the Obama administration, ask yourself.

Did the Founding Fathers “finish the job”?

When leaving the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Ben Franklin was asked by a lady, ““Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy”

He replied, “A Republic, if you can keep it.”

Ask the Kurds in the North of Iraq, did we finish the job?

If you ask the residents of inner city Detroit, South Central LA, Santa Barbara, rural Ohio, small town Wyoming, a Florida retirement community or the base housing at Camp Lejeune if what the Founding Fathers did was worth it, you would get a number of differing answers.

History is rife with heirs to freedom and/or fortune who have squandered it.
