"Is it pretending to say that Carter was weak in handling Iran?" What would you have done? Reagan seemed satisfied with doing nothing. "Is it true to say that Clinton was weak in handling Somlia?" What would you have done? "What about Clinton allowing bin Laden to go free on multiple occasions?" We keep going over this. There is no evidence that actually happened. The examples you have used were either from a TV show or it wasn't clear that bin Laden was even available. The one military action you cite, the CIA didn't think he was there. And there are many reasons to think that Sudan wasn't in a position to deliver. "Was it weak when Clinton allowed the United States to be led around by the nose for 8 years by Saddam?" Saddam was contained. And, according to all records, he gave up his WMD. How is that leading by the nose? "Was it weak for Clinton to enter into a deal with NK which virtually assured they would be in violation of the agreement with a decade?" You mean the agreement that Bush more or less copied? So, are you on the record that NK is "virtually assured" they will be in violation of the agreement within a decade? For what it is worth, I think they will be. Not because of the agreement, but because that is what NK does. "Why don't you give me some examples of STRONG FP under the leadership of Democrats?" Well, let's see. WWI turned out ok. Ditto for WWII. Given the state that Korea was in, it didn't turn out so badly. Could have been better, though. Vietnam was a huge mistake.
