Oh, I remember now. For Iraq, part 2, the war was Shrub Jr's...

I wasn't crazy about a full invasion of Afghanistan, but understood a military response was probably called for since they were the enablers of the 9/11 Hijackers.


But the moment W started drawing Iraq into his TGWOT mantra, I was dumbfounded.

I just want to make it clear, on the record, that it was 2 GOP Presidents that went to war with Iraq. Bush 41 was part of the Reagan Administration that armed Iraq to have a proxy war with Iran.

I mean, the ignorance of Trumptards is astounding.

More of the Republican blundering to further rile the ME against us.

The Reagan Administration also negotiated 52 American Citizens to remain imprisoned by passionate revolutionary Iranians, as a campaign ploy to make Clinton look "week" let me review, A Civilian, one Ronnie Raygun back doored A United States President making dirty deals with a hostile foreign government, arranging to sell arms to Iran to fund a covert war with a Right Wing Extremist Junta in Nicaragua that killed Mom's Dads, kids, reporters nuns, Americans whoever was perceived to be in the way.

Not really a secret, just sort of relegated to the dustbin of history.

The Hostages left their imprisonment on an Aircraft that somehow went wheels up simultaneously as Ronald Reagan finished Swearing an Oath to uphold an defend the Constitution(with fingers crossed) Of The United States Of America...

Nixon did pretty much the same thing in Nam. (yo Ho Chi Min, chill bro once we defeat these Democrat Warmongers, we will sign a a surrender and cut and runaway muy pronto!) But as we all know Nixon stayed in the Nam because he knw more than his Generals. (PS, The United States had had a military presence in Nam from ww2 till Our war became unavoidably noticeable in the early 60's.....until we admitted defeat and beat feet out of there)

It was started by Eisenhower and ended with Nixon. But the Kennedy and Johnson administrations weren't exactly anti-war themselves.

Kennedy was all over it until he started to have time to understand it and started having 2nd thoughts (Assassination theory #13) yes and then actual MIC hawk Johnson pumped it up bigly. The Dem's share some stink on this too. But the US was interested in Indochina from at least the years leading right into the Pacific War of Empires Clashing. (Japan V. USA) WW2 Pacific Theater.

I wasn't surprised at all. That was what they always wanted.

Congress hasn't declared a war since WW2.

Yet we've had Korea, Vietnam, Iraq 1, Balkans, Iraq 2, Afghanistan.

Let's not play games. American lives were lost, not to mention thousands in other lands.
