Not so. It was a Democrat, Truman, who allowed us to get placed in a police action, instead of winning the Korean War, even after MacArthur brilliantly saved the day with the landing in Inchon. Ike got us out of a mess.

And, in 1964, it was a Democrat, Lyndon Johnson, that allowed us to get sucked into a war that was based on a totally fabricated incident, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and then we were not allowed to fight to win. Again a Republican had to finish the job. And it ended when we finally flexed our incredible military muscle and almost bombed Hanoi and Haiphong back into the Stone Age.

When we saw what they did to our prisoners of war, we should have gone back and finished the job.

Nixon had to pull the troops for Vietnam because the Democrat controlled House voted on zero dollars for the war in the 1974 budget. When IX42 sent the troops to Haiti and Bosnia, J. D. Hayworth brought this up every time there was a discussion on supporting our troops that IX42 deployed without consultation with congress.

Stormin Norman told congress to stay out of the day-to-day operations of the Gulf War and we accomplished our objective. Liberals were screaming we had no mandate to get Saddam but now they are revising history by saying Bush should have gone after him. Liberals will revise when ever it's to their advantage.

How exactly did MacArthur save the day and then get fired by Ike? And unless I'm mistaken we retreated from Vietnam and let the south be overrun. Is that how Nixon finished it?

Most of you have missed my point that we have at times engaged in failed military ventures regardless of who was in the White House, and being partisan just lets you blame it all on Democrats and Liberals and ignore the details.
