Iraq was won. All we had to do was leave behind an American force that would continue to mentor and hold the Iraqi army together, and work as a deterrent against terrorist adventurism. Obama and his media minions blame the Iraqis for the failure of the status of forces agreement, but it was Obama who didn’t want the deal and only made a symbolic push to win a deal. Before Iraq started falling apart, Obama continually bragged that the decision to pull all our troops from Iraq was his decision — the keeping of a campaign promise. Had the American President wanted American troops to remain in Iraq, no reasonable person believes this would not have been the outcome. The fact is that it was Obama who ensured the premature pulling of our troops, because this is what Democrats do… Democrats lose won wars. Vietnam was won. Yep. Your history teachers and professors don’t tell you this; nor do media documentaries. But the Vietnam War was won and America won it. In early 1973, North Vietnam and the Viet Cong knew they were defeated, came to the Paris Peace Accords, and agreed to end their aggression against our allies in the sovereign and free nation of South Vietnam. With the war won, America pulled our troops. In order to keep the peace, we had to only agree to supply our allies in the South with any military hardware they would need should the North Vietnamese attempt to again invade the South. The Vietnam War was won… until Democrats chose to intentionally lose it. In November of 1974, three months after Nixon resigned in disgrace, Democrats won a landslide in the mid-term elections. The new Democrat majority in Congress de-funded our promised military aid to South Vietnam, and the Viet Cong made their move. Without American aid, the South Vietnamese were doomed. Then-President Gerald Ford literally begged Congress to restore funding. By this time things had deteriorated to a point where the South would have also required American airstrikes to hold on. Democrats adamantly refused funding, making the airstrikes futile. Within a year, South Vietnam surrendered to the communist North. America’s indifference also assured that the dominoes of Cambodia and Laos fell, and the holocaust known as the Killing Fields began. Before it was over, two to five million innocents were butchered — all because Democrats were determined to lose a war that had already been won and which could have stayed won with nothing more than a very small financial commitment and limited airstrikes. There’s no reason South Vietnam could not have maintained its sovereignty just as South Korea has for over a half-century … except that Democrats wanted Vietnam lost because saying “I told you so” is far more important to Democrats than the lives of a few million brown people. Obama, Democrats, and the media have all been pushing for the same result in Iraq. The only difference is that a Communist South Vietnam was never a threat to America.
