Bushs 2 wars sunk the USA trillions and the nation will never recover

@Quasar44

That's nothing compared to both the financial and the emotional cost of all the lives thrown away to provide union jobs for Dim voters and kickbacks to the Bush Crime Family.

"But no. The Congress removed the Honor from the Peace."

You can't give what you don't have so Congress couldn't remove it.  And speaking of congress, to be honest they aren't at fault.  It's the LIVs, the lazy voters who votes for a party not an individual, the deceased voters, and the illegal voters that keep putting the same old water logged wood back in congress that are the problem. ****sheep****

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

My comment was a play on the "Peace with Honor" we were supposed to have with Vietnam, still funding much of their military effort against the North. Congress, dominated by Democrats, pulled that funding, thus facilitating the invasion of the South by the NVA. Now true, and true perhaps even then, when the hippies and Leftists were roaming in the streets, and instead of being feted at the White House (Ayers/Dohrn) , Leftist terrorists were risking blowing themselves up...

No wonder there is so much '60s redux in everything the Left is doing.
From witch hunts to impeachment, to obama era race riots, to little Communists roaming the streets, it's all the same playbook with an even more  dumbed down population.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They still couldn't have anything with honor because congress stopped having any during the Civil War when they ceded to the supreme court all the tough positions they should have been making to begin with rather than risk angering voters. :nono:

Well, at the time the Congress our people were watching met in Richmond, even though our State had been occupied before it could vote.

President Trump on Monday declared that the United States had “never really fought to win” in Afghanistan.

Hmm......... and who to better understand this, than our 'Stable Genius'-in-Chief,
given his military knowledge and war record.
Speaking of genius, while at the Ecole Militaire, Napoleon paid Alexander of Macedon
the highest of compliments, labeling him "unparalleled and undefeated" which he was.
Alexander conquered and pacified Afghanistan applying force, resolve and patience.
Wonder if any of our Pentagon types ever heard of either of them???

It's risky for a President to say an ongoing war was a "mistake," because the leftists will immediately pipe up, "So what do you tell the parents of the last soldier to die?  That the war was a 'mistake'?"

Are you not saying that now?  Are you a good leftist?
