Democratic Presidents forced Germany into unconditional surrender twice, and the Japanese Empire also to surrender unconditionally.

 What is the war record of Republican Presidents. Take a look.

Korea: Republican President Eisenhower settled for a stalemate that has kept our troops pinned down there for the past fifty years.

Vietnam: Republican President Ford fled from the roof tops in a complete "Cut And Run".

Beirut: Republican President Reagan got hundreds of marines blown to smithereens, and then "Cut and Ran" all the way to Grenada, where he staged a wag the dog distraction from his complete surrender to the terrorists in Beirut. Don't hold your breath until there is a huge demand for a war monument to celebrate the Republicans great victory in Grenada, the toy poodle that Reagan claimed had roared.

Republican President Reagan traded arms for hostages with the Iranian Ayatollahs, and lied to the American People about having done so.

I know; some of you are going to mention Blackhawk down. Take a look at who actually send in the Troops to Somalia. Bush One, and he did so after he had already lost his bid for a second term.

Republican President George Herbert Walker Bush, had his ambassador, April Glasby, tell Saddam Hussein that America had no vital interest in Kuwait, as Iraq had it's forces massed for invasion on the Kuwait border. She is on video actually giving Saddam the green light to attack Kuwait. What else does saying "America has no vital interests" mean.

Then, after Margret Thatcher had to give Bush a spinal transplant, and tell him: "George this is not the time for you to go all wobbly over Iraq's aggression", he did something about it. Of course he then talked the Shiites into rebelling, promising them their liberation, and instead stood by, and allowed Saddam to slaughter those that he had urged to rebel. He then left Saddam in power to continue to persecute and slaughter his own people.

Well, you know the final chapter with Republican President George W. Bush, who took a bad situation in Iraq, and made it a hundred times worse, and managed to allow a ragtag bunch of religious fanatics to make the world's greatest military power look powerless and impotent. Of course Bush also did what Iran hoped he would do, and actually created the conditions that let Iran emerge as the strongest power in the region

Any one who thinks, with the long history of Republican Presidents getting our nation's military humiliated, that the Republicans are actually strong on National Defense has to be a complete Moron.
