Weak Presidents like LBJ, Clinton and Oblahma cause more military strife?

[thomasmulligan]

It seams LBJ lead us into Vietnam and a long war.

Clinton failed to address the cause of the first WTC bombing which lead to the second WTC bombing and a long war.

And Obastard has left such a giant void that everyone from Russia to ISIS to China to Iran is rattling their saber.

Question. Do left-leaning Presidents and their natural weakness lead to more conflicts and dead bodies???!!

There seems to be some data points missing from your list.

You forgot Reagan, Bush 1, and Bush 2.

I don't know. Who was in power at the beginning, during and at the end of...

World War I
World War II
Korea
Vietnam

I'm not sure what to say about the Gulf War and the more current conflicts as they appear to me to be all part of the same thing.

LOL...of course you don't know what to say.

Alright, explain it please. What happened at the end of the First Gulf War? Peace? No. Conditional Cease fire. Saddam was still in power. Why? Dick Cheney explains:

"I would guess if we had gone in there, we would still have forces in Baghdad today.", from 1992

So the War with Iraq, what was that? Not a NEW war!!

LOL....of course I don't know what to say!!!!! Explain it to me.

If you ask me, and you won't, we've bungled the Middle East from 1953 until present day. That's too many Presidents and too many changes in political leadership to lay at any one man or one parties feet. If you want to blame anyone, I would start with the oil companies.

The Serbs and an antiquated alliance system and then an over aggressive Kaiser got us into WW2. In reality, a piss poor treaty and the US Congress to refuse to participate in post WW1 were the leading factors to the rise of Hitler in Germany...and the Japanese did bomb Pearl Harbor (or was it the Germans?) Korea I believe the Chinese goaded the NKoreans into invading SKorea.....and that invasion was repulsed by the US...until the Chinese themselves became the instigator.
The truth of the Viet Nam matter...a lot of the "blame" lies with the right-wing of the GOP. They forced Ike and Kennedy to become engaged and remain engaged in SE Asia more than either of them wanted. I believe Ike was the POTUS who sent the first military "advisors" to SE Asia. LBJ, understanding the fall-out from Korea and the pain the right was forcing on him, stupidly allowed his Generals (Westmoreland) to engage the US military into a war they could never win...The threat being...If you don't stop them in Viet Nam you will be fighting them on the West Coast of the US. Yes, there are a lot of Dems involves as POTUS during these times of warfare but remember, there were a lot of Dems in office as these wars were ended, too.
