Answer 1

And didn't Ronald Reagan actually swap guns for hostages?

Answer 2

You are exactly correct Wilson won WWI, FDR and Truman won WWII. Kennedy challenged Russia over Cuban missiles and won the standoff. When the WTC was attacked Clinton had the perps arrested and brought to justice.
On the other hand Reagan backed the Taliban in the war between Afghanistan and USSR. Without his support they wouldn't exist today. Likewise Reagan backed Saddam Hussein in his war with Iran. He started him on his weapons development.

Answer 3

What liberals are you talking about?

Those men who won WWII you talk about would be considered Conservatives today as would Kennedy. They were strong on defense and loved America.
Carter cut the military and gave us to the Islamic revolution that we fight today. The ones trying to build bombs.
Reagan rebuilt the military and defeated the Soviet Union. Gorbechev said so.
Clinton cut the military and our intellegence community and gave the islamists time to grow. Allowed the Taliban to come to power. He also along with Carter gave the N koreans the capability to make the Bombs we face today.

You need to get your education from something other than Mother Earth News and the World Workers Party.

Answer 4

Democrats have always been opposed to wartime profit taking. Look at the DOW that is military spending at it's finest.

You Democrats fight wars with boots and blood. Republicans fight war on the NYSE

Take you pick spill a little blood or spill a little pocket change.

Answer 5

ignorant minds think alike. you better look into Clinton's record a bit deeper if you want to bring him into a debate. Clinton gave America the largest tax hike in the history of the world. Iraq can be handled but we have to many soft liberal and demos that cry when the big guns are brought out. democrats will do nothing about terrorism just like big daddy bill. the terrorist know that the democrats shower the enemy with money. they can't wait for the good times again.

Answer 6

My dear misguided and uninformed friend, let me point out a few things to you:

(1) Clinton did NOT cut billions of dollars of waste out of the military budget. Clinton cut the military budget and troop strength -- WELL below the end strength levels recommended by former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell -- while at the same time sending military members to every two-bit squabble in any little Banana Republic across the globe. He basically coined the phrase "Do more with less." The brave soldiers who died in Somalia didn't have to die, but as a direct result of Clinton's incompetence their families are now deprived of their presence. Just watch "Black Hawk Down" and see what Clinton the Clod hath wrought. Do I need to mention the fact that the Sudanese government literally offered Osama bin Laden to us on a silver platter in 1998 and Slick Willie did NOTHING? Add the men and women who died on the U.S.S. Cole, not to mention the 3,000+ killed on 9/11, to Clinton's personal body count. Finally, have you forgotten Bosnia and Kosovo? They didn't attack us, and they represented no threat to Americans, yet Clinton wasted BILLIONS by sending our military members into the region to play World Police -- isn't that EXACTLY what the Democrats are accusing Bush of?

(2) There's nothing wrong with diplomacy and trying to resolve issues by talking them out as opposed to shooting them out. But at some point you have to do a reality check and see that there are certain people who cannot be reasoned with, cannot be bought or bribed, cannot be blackmailed, cannot be moved by idle threats, cannot be coerced, cannot be swayed by moving speeches, cannot be pleaded with, cannot be cried to, etc. Saddam Hussein is one of those individuals, as are the al-Qaeda terrorists. Twelve years of Saddam thumbing his nose at the U.N. and violating virtually every restriction and sanction placed on him should be enough for any reasonable person to conclude that he was going to do whatever he damn well pleased. And would you be so quick to abandon the people of Iraq? We're taking a lesson from Afghanistan -- remember how the U.S. came to the aid of Afghanistan in the '80s when the Soviet Union tried to invade? We left them to their own devices much too soon without providing enough assistance to get their new government up and running, and what was the result? A radical Muslim sect -- better known as the Taliban -- moved in and staged a military coup.

Wouldn't it be better to invest the time and money in the democratic Iraq that their people really want (don't believe the mainstream media, my friends and colleagues who have actually been to Iraq have seen the gratitude of the Iraqi people WITH THEIR OWN EYES) or would you just prefer to pull out and end up at war with the next corrupt anti-American regime that comes out:?

Answer 7

The problem in your thought processes is that once again..you "playedtoofast"

This war was started a long time ago in the middle east ..about the year 711 and we STILL dont have the backbone to do anything about it.

Now , quit your mamby pamby hand wringing and pass the ammunition

Answer 8

You forget about the part where Republicans used to be more Liberal and Democrats used to be more Conservative.. George Wallace(D) sure was a helluva liberal /sarcasm.

Answer 9

All I can say is thank GOD, Yes I said God, that your not running this country. Some people you can not talk to and that's why war is necessary.

Answer 10

I think you are goofy.
