Reply #16: A horribly wrong assessment... [View All]

"I'm beginning to not view this current administration as Republican, for the record nearly all wars have been started by a Democrat and finished by Republican."

I appreciate your revelation that the GOP isn't what it says it is. But your assessment about America's wars is wrong.
Only the Civil War can be construed as fitting your interpretation (Southern Dems starting it, newly formed GOP finishing it).

World War I: started by Europe, and a Dem (Wilson) did enter the U.S. into it. But no Republican "finished" it.

World War II: started by Japan and Germany, finished by a Democrat (or two).

Korean War: started by North Korea, fought by a Dem, abandoned by a Republican (but not "finished")

Vietnam War: our involvement started by a Dem, but hardly "finished" by a Republican. Nixon had no exit plan except to beg for mercy to save face. Nixon had six years and a "secret plan to end the war" but still wasn't out when he resigned.

Gulf War: a wholly Republican matter. (and if Bush Sr didn't want this war, all he needed to do was tell Saddam. Saddam asked the U.S. for what amounted to permission at least twice and both times got a "we don't care" kind of answer.)

Iraq invasion: Pure Republican.

So I don't understand where your characterization of "the record" is coming from...
