"Read my lips: no new taxes!" --President George H.W. Bush
Oct. 27, 1983:
President Reagan --Let me ask those who say we should get out of Lebanon: If we were to leave Lebanon now, what message would that send to those who foment instability and terrorism? If America were to walk away from Lebanon, what chance would there be for a negotiated settlement, producing a unified democratic Lebanon?
If we turned our backs on Lebanon now, what would be the future of Israel? At stake is the fate of only the second Arab country to negotiate a major agreement with Israel.
President Reagan announced Feb. 7, 1984, that the U.S. Marine contingent in Beirut would be withdrawn.
Yes. Presidents change their minds when events pressure them to.
Get Ready for Boots on the Ground in Iraq The handwriting is already on the wall for the Dipstick Obama. Now that he is committed to bombing tumbleweeds and desert oasis, guess what? What, no empty pharmacies to send T-Hawks into?
Its not working So, the decision will have to be made at some point. Cut and run like he did last time? Leave it to turn into a crap hole like it is today? Just another Obama Syria screw-up? Or will he put boots on the ground to do the job? I say he'll leave them to die and go play some golf!
SK: Why do you guys insist on justifying a president's statements and/or actions based on what a previous president might or might not have done? Is it still true in your mind that two wrongs cancel each other out and result in a right?
Geaux4it: "Get Ready for Boots on the Ground in Iraq."
Oh, come on! That's impossible! He said we were through. Isn't his word as good as gold?
I was born in Miami, Florida, the son of an Air Force officer, traveled the world, was saved at age 17, and have served the Lord since. That's me on the left and my lovely wife, Bonnie...the pretty one...on the right.

FOUR PRINCIPLES THAT DEFINE TRUE CONSERVATISM:
1. Respect for The Constitution
2. Respect for Life
3. The Smallest Possible Government
4. Individual Responsibility
This blog is about my philosophy of government, which is a very conservative philosophy.
You are not required to agree with me (although you would be better off if you did).
I am biased toward conservatism, and make no apologies for that.
Freedom means not being controlled by the government, that being the very reason we declared our independence from Great Britain.
Government's job is not to provide things for people, but to provide the opportunity for people to persue the things they want via the vehicles of freedom and responsibility.

Joe - President Obama is right - he did end the war in Iraq. Now he has to explain how he started it up again with the airstrikes.
He won't be the first president who didn't do what he said he would. Or did things he said he wouldn't.
It's a tough job. But someone has to do it.
sh: "He won't be the first president who didn't do what he said he would."
Oh! OK! That makes it alright. Thanks for that instruction.

So?
And remember how dedicated to the WoT this guy was?

What? You mean it's not?
Because, Joe, we realize that the world situation changes and it is necessary to change with it.
We understand the nature of politics.
We are not naive.
Ducky: That was pretty obscure. I have no idea what you just said.
Let's see if I can figure it out.
"...the world situation changes..."
Therefore it is proper to justify a president's statements and/or actions based on what a previous president might or might not have done?
Nope. You lost me.
Good work.
