Sept., 1950. Seoul was lost--we were about to be pushed off the Korean peninsula by the NK forces. MacArthur's Inchon landing behind the front NK line won the day for the US. It was later that winter and followiing spring that the war ground down, after MacArthur was fired in early 1951 for pushing for the A-bomb to be used when the Red Chinese entered the war at the end of 1950.
Nixon got us out of the Vietnam morass in Jan. 1973, and most of our forces were removed from South Vietnam in 1973. The South Vietnamese lost the following war with North Vietnam in April, 1975.
And I was not being partisan. My almost fifty years on earth have shown me that Democrats make messes and Republicans seem to have to fix them up. And history has repeated itself. The scumbag Sink Emperor neglected business for eight years, and a Republican has to clean up the mess he left behind.

So the fact that Reagan and Bush Sr. created the Iraq monster means nothing? I said originally that I wasn't defending Clinton, but he's not the only one who screwed up to create this situation.
