Vietnam was lost because it became a political war and not a war run by generals.
Iraq was the result of Hussein breaking the ceasefire agreement between him and the USA for years and in the enviroment of terrorism after 9/11 we could not afford to look weak by letting Hussein get away with thumbing his nose at us.
If you want oil to stop being the reason for every action we take in the middle east, start drilling here and kick out all the wacked out enviromentalists from our government and disband the EPA.
To the leftists socialists communists pinkos out there, Israel has commited the ultimate crime....
not die.
That is the truth behind this vilification of Israel.
Yes, you are correct about Vietnam. But because it was a political should show that it was a bad idea in the first place.
And about Iraq, you can't possibly tell me that after 11 years, trillions of dollars, consistently incorrect information from government officials who later admitted to being wrong about Iraq, and exposed lie after exposed lie, you still support what happened? Saddam was no immediate threat to us and it was proven there were no WMDs. This is elementary, textbook current knowledge.
So, you mean to tell me that you support America ruining its reputation on the international stage because we had to protect our reputation... on the international stage? What's funny is that Dick Cheney was well-aware of the risks we were taking by invading Iraq. He knew that the war would possibly be really expensive, that it would damage our reputation with the rest of the world, and that the American public would further lose faith in our government, our leaders, and our military.
And, again I ask, you're OKAY with this?
I bet you're home-schooled. Do your parents know you're here?
