Effit, pete, that isn't my song.
Daddy Bush got us wrapped up in that mess chasing the Iraqis off the Saudis doorstep. IMHO, the people we went after over 9/11 were the same ones Daddy Bush defended--where most of the hijackers came from. Before Kuwait, the Iraqis were having it out with the Iranians and that suited us just fine.
That said, either go in to win, or just don't go. I have lost too many friends and relatives in wars this country was not committed to winning, through no failure of theirs to do the job they were asked to do, but the failure of the government to support them after it sent them in.
@Smokin Joe Clearly you won't be singing the song. I can't find a single thing in your post to disagree with you on.
I have no idea why so many people in this country have so much trouble understanding that to be a conservative in America means YOU WANT TO CONSERVE AMERICA,NOT destroy her by turning her into a cog in the World Wide Government,Inc machine.
Yet it seems like all some globalist goober needs to do is put a Big Red R on his chest,and suddenly people are falling all over themselves to call that globalist pile of pig manure a "true conservative that needs our support." Boy Jorge Bush pimped out our military for family profits and power to fight Saudi Arabia's war for them,and idiots STILL to stand up and applaud and call him a "great conservative leader".
Not even admitting several times in public in his first term that he would sign any gun control bill that congress sent him was enough to slow the Bush Love Train.
If Bill Clinton had done half the stuff that Poppy and Boy Jorge did,half these idiots would be screaming to have him arrested and hanged,but they applaud Boy Jorge for doing it.
Go figure.
