Iraq Collapsing

So by that metric no president has done anything. Bush did not depose Sadam. Reagan did not go after Gaddafi, neither did Clinton ....

Kind of a silly argument. No one thinks Obama actually had a physical roll in killing OBL anymore than anyone think Bush Sr had a actual roll in ousting Sadam from Kuwait.

So yes. Obama got OBL. Bush kicked Sadam out. ....etc.

You guys argue over the dumbest crap.
 
Pot calls Kettle Black, news at eleven.

Harry Truman July 1950 the first advisers went to Vietnam.  15million in military aid to the French over the next 4 years the USA spent 3 billion on the French war.
 
extra credit Democrat. 
 
Eisenhower a Republican increased the aid... his speech about the domino theory was used for decades to come.
 
Kennedy a Democrat in may of 61 sent green beret "advisors" 400 of them..  to train the south. McNamara wanted to send 6 divisions (200k men) by the time of Kennedy's assassination there were just over 16000 Americans in Vietnam 
 
August 1964 following the Gulf of Tonkin incedent congress voted overwhelmingly to allow johnson to use force in Vietnam.
 
In March of 1965 the first Combat troops 3500 marines land at china beach.  
 
I could go on but we all know that johnson did not stop there...

And I was on an Aircraft carrier U.SS. Bon Homme Richard, CVA 31, off of North Vietnam, from April, 1965, through Jan,1966. Lost two of our pilots on that deployment.
 
Thank you for your service. My dad was flying off carriers during that time off a different boat.
