The same limp wrist that left him in power for nearly an additional 20 years.

So now you're implying he should have been removed. Mike you're not toeing the liberal line my friend! What's wrong?

I've never spit on anyone.
If you read my posts, I've been working around DoD for decades.
I'm not just off turnip truck, as you seem to think.
That's why I refuted your statement.

I'm not a liberal - or at least I don't think I meet the definition of one. I am merely pointing out a geopolitical reality. There will be various times when we will be 'working with' enemies for a long term strategy that will benefit us. It has always been this way. I know it, and you do, too. Stating that this is limp wristed diplomacy implies you don't.

And you have no clue about me. I was in boot camp when Saigon fell in '75. Technically, I'm a Vietnam Era Veteran, but I don't make that claim.

You're the one spouting the "tough guy" rhetoric, dude. Don't worry; as you get older you'll understand.

I was referring to 4 years of the diplomacy disaster that Carter was.
Okay, but there's a big difference between disagreeing with a foreign policy and claiming a one year period lasted four years.

If you remember correctly (were you alive in january 1979?), Jimmy Carter forged peace between Israel and Egypt. Do you claim this to be a disaster?

And if you read my posts, you will see that I have been to Iraq twice and Afghanistan once.

Refute all you want. People like you get to enjoy the benefit of free expression because of people like me. You know, the ones who apparently fell off the turnip truck defending this country.

We are seeing Jimmy Carter's limp-wristed diplomacy redux.
*gives Iran guns, wipes 80s from mind, thinks Reagan is badass*

Sweetie, I'm a veteran, too.
Don't play your macho-crap on me.

Most people who go to war are a little more respectful of themselves and the mission, as ridiculous as it may be.
Luckily, the vast majority are not yahoos.

I'll take the high-road and thank you for your service to country.

As for your liberal views, i'm not sure we'll ever see eye to eye.
