What part of...?

Question

.......
1. Afghanistan: Liberated and fighting hard to stay that way.
2. Iraq: Liberated and fighting hard to stay that way.
3. Libya: Gave up all it's nuclear weapons materials
4. Iran: Not currently working on nukes

What part of the above doesn't sound like a positive outcome from Bush military action. Given that war is sometimes necessary to restrain those with ill intent and action and that young men die in war; doesn't it seem that a lot got done with less military deaths than occurred on Clinton's watch during peace time?

Answer 1

You forgot North Korea announcing it would disable its nuclear weapons program. That was a BIG victory for Bush, whose opponents insisted he should cave into North Korea's demands for bi-lateral talks. Bush was too savvy, and stood his ground.

In his memoirs, North Korean general Giap says his side was demoralized and getting blown to bits, literally. They were eager to negotiate a surrender... until they saw the extent of the naive "anti war" movement in the U.S. The Viet Cong realized they didn't have to prevail militarily, just make some noise so it looks like they are still a viable enemy, and wait patiently for the U.S. Congress to de-fund the war.

Hmmm.... does this sound like any other conflict we're currently engaged in?

Why doesn't the "anti-war" crowd ever learn from history? Backing down just invites more aggression. Look at every time Israel has made concessions. The very next day, a Palestinian terrorist group would announce that the Israelis must be weakening; otherwise, they would not have ceded anything. Now, they reason, they should INCREASE their attacks against Israel to assure final victory.

War is sometimes unavoidable. What the U.S. needs to do is stop the foo-foo "hearts and minds" tactic until they have won not only the initial military battle, but also the consequent insurgency.

Answer 2

Iraq: civil war, total US failure, training ground for Al Quaeda, most Iraqis see US as "occupiers", not "liberators", no stability, people getting blown up every day in sectarian violence, waste of American, Iraqi civilian lives and US tax dollars...sounds like a great place to be, thanks to Bush!

Afganistan: Osama Bin Laden slipped through Bush's fingers, now Taliban is recruiting more and more people to kick out the "occupiers", etc.

Iran: What happened to "Innocent until proven guilty"? Wanna give us some proof that Iran really is developing nukes, not civilian power? Or are you just ready to take Bush's word for it, "blind trust"? Besides, isn't it a bit hypocritical for the US, which refused to sign and/or violated every treaty to control Nuclear Arms, which has the power to destroy the world 9x, to tell Iran "no, you can't have nuclear power", especially since Iran says it only wants civilian power and there's no proof of nukes?

Lybia: I cannot comment; I know very little about that incident.

First of all, there's the fact that all of these wars and hostilities are based on Bush's lies. I cannot argue that Saddam was a brutal man, but that wasn't Bush's justification for the Iraq war, was it? And now, with all of the civil war, violence, instability, sectarian violence in Iraq, when you can get killed by a car bomb any day, life sounds great in Iraq now, doesn't it? The Iraqi CIVILIAN toll has FAR outstripped the Vietnam war toll...not that I support the Vietnam war either.

Answer 3

1. afghanistan - quagmire...and bush allowed usama to escape at tora bora

2. iraq - quagmire, civil war, al qaeda haven/training ground/recruitment tool. Waste of American lives and tax dollars with no end in sight.

3. libya - khadaffi gives up his nuclear ambitions. Aid and contracts flow in to tripoli.

4. iran - is bush secretly selling them arms like reagan did during "iran/contra"?

"Then there's Vietnam where Democrats killed 58,000 American Soldiers for NOTHING"....

Is that why nixon cut and ran, because your idols like bush & cheney wouldn't go fight?

Is the reason you're not "fighting them over there today" is you're just following their example?

Answer 4

How many times do I have to ask you to get off the Kook Aid? Your statement in the false form of a question is at best 5% factual. Try getting your facts somewhere other than Limbaugh or Hannity.
