Ronald Reagan didn't do squat either in peace time, but sell weapons to Arabs repeatedly with Rumsfeld and Oliver North.

Why do you Republicans always state untrue facts. Lincoln left the Southern Republicans to free the Slaves with the Union military, and the Confederacy had him assinated for it. The French started the Vietnam war over rubber for tires, America was an allie of the French. Ike was a lame duck like Bush is, and Bush is still fighting his fathers war now. Republicans don't want to end wars because they are profiteers of them. Truman said that was a crime in the Geneva Convention that Bush just through rewriting the rules for Americans.

The Civil War, the Cold War, and some nifty little operations like when Grenada was taken. American students were there and would likely have been killed. The public didn't even hear about it until the U.S. military had taken control of the island and rescued the students. Reagan took care of that with executive authority.

The Demonrats of old were not pacifists. The party is not the same as it was then. So your statement about the past is not relevant to the parties of today.

Clinton never solved anything after terrorist acts or dealt with the Middle East problems the whole 8 yrs he was in the Oval Office. Oh... wait... .he was too busy.

At least Bush is trying to deal with the situation in Iraq.... and given enough time has a chance to resolve it. That is.... if peace can ever be brought to the Middle East. If not.... no Demonrat could do any better. They are quick to criticize, but offer no plans of their own. Their "plan" but be to just pretend it isn't there and it will go away.

Any real Southerner knows Lincoln was a Republican! He may have been a criminal but he was a Republican you sir, are a fake!
Vietnam was a police action not a war but Nixon got us out. The Gulf War ended under George Senior. If we always had a President like Reagan we would never have to worry about any outsider attacking us.

that's a good point. no republican has ever been in the presidential office ending a war... well, other then abe lincoln with the civil war, bill mckinley with the spanish- american war, dwight eisenhower with the korean conflict, gerald ford with the vietnam conflict, ronald reagan with the cold war, or george bush with desert storm. but if you ignore those minor details democrats have solved all wars to date. take for example harry truman, who successfully ended wwii with the nuke!

How about all of the wars that were started under or during the administrations of Democrats.

Look at where we still have troops deployed...while it may be for "peacetime" now let remember why they were put there in the first place and the fact that they have not left.

WWII (FDR) Japan & Germany
Korea (Truman) Korean
Vietnam (Kennedy)
Bosnia/Croatia/Yogoslavia (Clinton)

Republicans ended Viet Nam (not well, but Nixon ended it).

Reagan and Bush 41 ended the Cold War.

Lincoln ended the Civil War (not that he was a real Republican by today's standards).

I think your premises are false.

Politicians dont "solve" or "end" wars. Fighting does. Now days politicians are the ones causing the military to not be able to "solve" and "end" wars. And its mostly the liberal agenda that does that

"They want us to be politicians and diplomats now. I cant do that, Im a soldier, I fight wars"

Ever hear of Richard Nixon and Vietnam? Obviously not because it was you democrats that got us into it and the Republicans got us out. So let me ask you a question. Why do you ask a question that makes you look so stupid?

We'll ignore Lincoln and Eisenhower.

We'll ignore Reagan who won the cold war without firing a shot.

We'll ignore Bush Sr. who smacked Saddam out of Kuwait.

Thanks for your useless post.
