gruff, congratulations, you are the first dipshit to post nonsense. Nothing, and I mean, NOTHING, that you posted has any.......anything to do with american policy. Real quick, hurry and name the political party that most of all of these failures were under......it shouldn't be too hard!!!

You fudgepacking asswipe.

I have never agreed with gruff until now.

It's really easy to to think you have won every war when you don't count the losses.

Revolutionary War

The French, Hessians, Spanish, Indians, Pirate Naval Merchants came to the aid of colonists.

without this aid the colonist's revolt would have been soundly thwarted.

Something modern day colonists should remember.

Germany wasn't free until 1987.

Kuwait is still ruled by a monarchy and was never under Saddam's control.

Beast, there is a difference between a war and a campaign. Just which of those that gruff mentioned was a war? And of course, you had to resort to the name-calling. BTW, the correst answer was "Dems".

Ninepointfiver, you've introduced two categories - namely "war" and "political parties" - in order to allow yourself to stop thinking about bad US foreign policies and pretend that America only does good things overseas. And I could care less but it was Democrats who, in your terms, won the Second World War, while it was Republican administrations that fucked Central America six ways from Sunday.

Damn it boy read some history.

We have been carrying the Central Americas for the past 30 years.....period. They are so screwed up down there, we can't possibly fix it, only train them. That's not war, that's called an "on-going mission". As far as WWII, I didn't say that all Democratic leaders failed, just that most of our failures were under Democratic leaders (i.e. Johnson, Carter, Clinton). Clinton sent us into more redundent places than any other leader, EVER! We're talin' major campaigns too, not a special mission here and there.

Jesus Christ on a biscuit. You really do not have the slightest idea what the Americans did down in Central America, do you? Well please do your country a favor and read the following paper on US dealings with Nicaragua, written for the Marine Corps Command and Staff College by a major in the US Marine Corps:

[www.globalsecurity.org]

Here's an excerpt to whet your appetite:

"A century and a half relationship with Nicaragua has witnessed a U.S. policy which has 'alternated erratically between the obsessive and the negligent.' Obsessive policy has culminated in active Marine Corps intervention to establish client-governments, without regard to the exploitation and corruption these governments generated. Negligent policy has resulted in sending U.S. Ambassadors who could not speak Spanish and who insulated themselves from fundamental cultural and sociological ills as well as the unique and dynamic impact of Latin America military institutions upon society. [...] Although staunchly pro-U.S., the [Somoza] dictatorship systematically developed the machinery for graft and corruption which would eventually led to chaos and revolution in Nicaragua."

Sure, against "soft targets". I believe that's called "terrorism" today in other parts of the world.

Too bad so many central american military types who carried out assassinations, death squads and disappearances were trained at Ft. Benning, GA, the station formerly known as The School of The Americas.
