I'll give you a hint, the first one was a bigger crook than Dick Cheney (yes I know, that's impossible, but it's true). The second one Wussed out and CUT and RAN from Hezbollah after they bombed a Marine barracks killing 241 Marines. His vice President helped Arm, Train, Finance Bin Laden. They both wussed out and gave in to Iran and exchanged hostages for weapons. They both armed and financed the Taliban. This vice Presidents son wanted to hand over our ports to countries linked to terrorism.

Can you name these experts in the fine art of CUT and RUN?

i disagree with the basis of your question? But the answers you are trying to get are: Nixon, Reagen, and G.H.W. Bush

Nixon sold out the south vietnamese and promised to help if the North invaded. Then when it happened they loaded up those who were lucky enough to escape and hauled. As a direct result millions were slaughtered in Cambodia.

Carter sit in his office wearing a sweater with the termostat turned down wringing his hands while the current leader of Iran was holding Americans hostage.

Reagan cut and ran out of Lebanon after a Hezbollah attack on the Marine barracks. Leaving Hezbollah to control southern Lebonan.

Bush I, stopped the destruction of the Iraqi Army during the first gulf war because of TV images of the "highway of death".

Clinton never took any significant action after multiple attack by Osama including embassy bombings, the US Cole attack and then cut and ran after less than 200 Army rangers fought off an armed mob of roughly 10,000 somalis aligned with Osama killing around 1/2 of them. Which inspired the 911 attacks.

Bush II stopped short of capturing Osama by not committing U.S. troops to his capture. Then failed to destroy Iraq during the last war and is wasting U.S. funds trying to rebuild a country we should have destroyed. He continues to conseal captured documents that show the involvement of the French, German and Russian governments in circumventing the sanctions against Iraq before the war. Even though these same governments now support the Iranians.

I guess I don't get the point of your question. So all the previous presidents have shown themselves to be gutless when dealing with terrorist and the nations that support them. The real question is what do we do NOW. I say lets pick somebody and make an nuclear example out of them, not tomorrow today, without warning, NOW. If I get to pick Iran doesn't exist tomorrow.

For my next target I would release the documents showing France's acts of war against the U.S. and launch an all out attack on France. They would surrender the next day anyway.

First, lets get rid of this "cut and run" and "wussed' out rhetoric --

"Cut and Run" really should only be applied to single battle situations -- when troops really turned and ran in the face of enemy fire. (Like in the Civil War etc.)

"Wussy and wussed out should be relegated back too the frat house where you were a "wussy" if you couldn't drink a twelve pack of BUD in 15 minutes.

Both terms reduce complex political and military situations to the level of a barroom brawl.

The US did not "cut and run" from Viet Nam. We had been there for 8 years and had failed to achieve a decisive victory or win the support of the people -- and the government we had set up was inept and corrupt. When NIXON withdrew the US from Vietnam -- it was an inevitable conclusion of a flawed polciy that had failed.

REAGAN pulled the Marines out of Lebanon -- and I give him credit for recognizing that Iit would have been unwise to keep them there in the middle of a Civil War situation.

This "Cut and Run" crap (should be said with a Bubba accent) and wussy crap is for the ignorant people who think war is like a football game or a schoolyard fight who have no clue regartding the horrors of war, Military strategy. foreign relations and cultures or even, seemingly the precepts of the religious teaching they profess to follow.

If we figure out a way to extricate the US from Iraq it wouldn't be "wussing out" or "cut and run" either.

As usual a liberal will have the facts all wrong. Study your history again there buddy boy and you will see we didn't cut and run from anything. We (Raegan) repositioned and then we continued fighting. .
Nixon got us out of Vietnam after the Domocrats FUBAR the whole war.
President Bush had a bipartisan group look at the management of the ports and it was investigated. Management is very different from security. You liberals are pathetic and not very bright either.

Nixon was not conservative. And it was the liberals in Congress who cut off funding and "cut and ran".
It's always been liberals who surrendered, even when they start the conflict.
Study history, and get things straight.
