(3,145 posts)How we forget the imprimatur that congressional Dems put on the Iraq War, including the 2016 popular vote winner.
How we forget that 44 got us mixed up in Libya or how he escalated the drone war in Yemen which has led to the deaths of scores of innocent Yemenis.
How we forget that Bill Clinton stood by and did nothing while Rwandans were being slaughtered en masse.
How we forget it was Dem president who knowingly went along with a lie and massively escalated the Vietnam War despite being elected on a promise that "We are not about to send American boys 9 or 10 thousand miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves."
How we forget that it was Jimmy Cater and his National Security Adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, that began pouring cash into the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan, including a young Saudi named Osama Bin Laden.
In fact, Brzezinski gloated about helping "give the Soviets their Vietnam War".
