We WERE weak; ... ..And he did it by applying the strength of the United States, not by cutting and running as you say. It's amazing how you apply selective logic to fit your biases...we were weak in failure but strong enough to defeat the soviet union....and the ever present "blame your predecessor" for your failures are always there....SOS, just another day.

I believe Reagan, were he alive today, would clearly reflect on it as a mistake. Wait, is this the same Reagan admin that was doing the Iran-Contra dance? And the cut and run from Lebanon? Man you have a short memory mixed with your hero worship. So, why in hell to the liberals want to pull out of Iraq now? Lot more than Liberals, lots of military folks and conservatives as well. Could be because it's the worst policy mistake in US history. Could be because of the debt. Could be because of the death toll. Could be because it's blown our world reputation. Or a number of other reasons... the question is what on earth do you Neo's expect to possibly gain by staying? That's the real question! He single-handedly brought down the biggest threat the world had ever known -- that of the Soviet Union and the possibility of an unwinnable nuclear war. Yeah right LOL. Myth time... Terrorism in that sense was in its infancy ... Which shows you know zero about terrorism and it's history.
