Canadian soldiers clash with ISIL in Iraq

US Conservative said:
The left ceded Vietnam to the communists, and now have ceded Iraq to ISIS and Iran. This is how liberals fight wars. :doh

You mean like Nixon who ran against it? Orthat well known Conservative who got us into it, Lyndon Johnson?
Them how the veterans were treated, which caused Bruce Springsteen (another well known Conservative) to write a song decrying it?

See, here's where I get confused. The evil evil left got us into Vietnam, which was good? How is that even possible? Democrats do something good? Is that what you're trying to say?

Liberals got us into Vietnam, then torpedoed it out of some evil plot? They even got to Nixon! Is this your argument? Should we stop now, or are you not yet humiliated enough?

So you really want to go this route? Johnson went to Vietnam to intentionally lose? So badly that Nixon ran on ending the war? Was Nixon a leftist too?

I dont think Johnson knew where it would go. One things for sure-when republicans fight wars-they fight them to win.

The left seems to think winning is optional. Its whats come to be expected from the left.

I watched about a minute until he claimed that we won the Vietnam war. I was unaware that they had any kind of democracy there. See, it seems to me that they have a Communist government.

Clear propaganda video, I don't watch those. Why should I watch RW propaganda? WTF is this "Oh, we really won until the big scary left wing conspiracy convinced us we didn't?" Usually when you win, you don't have to evacuate your people on a helicopter. Does this look like victory to you?

Sorry, that happened. It doesn't happen when you win. Also, check your history - Democrats started the war, and Nixon made a campaign promise to end it. I'm pretty sure that you're not going to try to convince us that Lyndon Johnson is a true conservative hero, and Nixon was a leftist. If you are, I can't wait. It will be very entertaining.

The Viet people won the war. For the first time in a looong time they have their own country and they're doing pretty well with it. My son was there and he said you'd never know it was communism by all the small-level private enterprise.

What's yours? How does occupying Iraq forever stop terrorism? Take the Paris attackers for instance - they were born in France, had likely never been to Iraq. Yet you think that occupying Iraq would stop them? How?

They were also trained and motivated by the terrorists that are taking over in the ME.

We aren't talking about abstraction here-ISIS, man. ISIS is what we are talking about. If all the things we are trying now fail-THEN WHAT?

Took ya long enough for details.
We are not failing- take the knot out of your panties.

And here we are back at my initial question you seem to want to dance around-if all other measures fail and ISIS continues-THEN WHAT?
Its a pretty straightforward question.

No, I am not Chicken Little going into my crystal ball and wondering what should be done.

You seem to have answers- If negotiations with Iran fail and they proceed to being a nuclear power- do you suggest what-
Sanctions increased
A blockade - that is an act of War.
Bombing them into submission?
Placing troops on the ground to destroy their nuke facilities.
Tell me. What would you do.

This thread is about ISIS being killed by Canadians. There are plenty of threads about Iran, maybe take this q there.

No... the Left only keeps things from completion... from winning and moving on. From addressing real issues and confronting them.

Nope- threads go off topic at times-
Man up, simple questions.
What would you do.

It isn't an accusation... just a generality. Waste money like there is no tomorrow... the Right has problems too, but you don't want to hear about the Left. ;)
