Let's Take A Look At The Instant Replay...
Edited on Fri Apr-09-04 03:05 AM by rpannier
The Republicans claim they are better at handling military related issues. Let's see here...World War I -- Victory, Woodrow Wilson, Democrat. World War II, a Good War (If you can call War good) -- Victory, FDR and Harry S Truman Democrats, Korea (Let's not forget North Korea invaded the South), not a victory, but not a loss either. Harry Truman and Eisenhower (Republican). Viet Nam: Disaster. Eeveryone from Eisenhower to Kennedy to Johnson to Nixon. The worst part of the war, other than the thousands dead from fighting in it, our Bombing of Cambodia, under Nixon, allowed the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot to come to power and murder about 1/2 of the population. Grenada...hahahahahahahahaha...sorry, but as a "war" it's pretty pathetic. But the pukes hold it in high esteem (shows you how desparate they are). I had a friend in college whose uncle was there. He claims they didn't even know there was anything wrong until the US arrived. They were NEVER in any danger. Bush I, Panama and the Gulf War. I'll give 'em the Gulf War. Clinton and the Balkans. I think a war to stop ethnic cleansing is a good war. We won. So there you have it. My guide to military conflict in the 20th century. The Democrats get WW I, WW II and the Balkans as clear victories and the pukes get Grenada and the Gulf.

1. the gulf was a snafu of our own design
remember that the u.s. under poppy gave saddam the green light to invade kuwait. so a war to correct poppy's fu is nothing to brag about.
