Talking point to the "cowards cut and run" crap.

I wrote in another post that asking questions to the people who actually believe these things is a good thing. Now am thinking that telling the person that they are not the hero because they are safe and secure over here is better. Maybe telling them that it is hypocritical because they are not the ones walking down street filled with IED'S.

Of course I remember someone saying here that the questions: "Why do you want to send our soldiers into harms way?"

I am putting up this post to see if anyone else has an answer to that absurd statement that is on bumper stickers along with "These colors don't run"

they let the IRaqi government take some?

"Lie and die" -John Kerry

That's a retort to your latter talking point, could preface into a retort to your first talking point. Or, quote Murtha, "stay and pay".

know very well what war's all about. I have deep respect for the both of them.

I don't remember that either Democrat Woodrow Wilson, or Franklin Roosevelt, had advocated cutting and running in World Wars I and II. If I remember correctly, a good part of the opposition to Roosevelt's efforts to keep democracy alive in Europe came from the GOP.

And wasn't it Dwight D. Eisenhower, the GOP's first successful presidential candidate in 20 years, who campaigned on the promise, ``I will go to Korea" to bring that unpopular war to a close?

For years Lyndon Johnson, Democrat, used to plead with the American people to have patience and stay the course in Vietnam, and he, too, used to fly off to the war zone from time to time to look the latest American-backed leader in the eye.

In the end it was a Republican, Richard Nixon, who reversed that policy and set the United States on a course of withdrawal. Another Republican, Gerald Ford, finally presided over the cutting and running.

And in Lebanon, it was Ronald Reagan, Republican, who decided to cut and run when the Marines he had sent ashore were bombed in their barracks.
