You could see "such a claim" in the streets when Bush was president. After Congress approved it, American Troops went farther, faster and took less casualties in Iraq than any other conflict of it's kind in U.S. history but they hanged Bush in effigy and protested in the streets. Harry Truman issued an (illegal) executive order that sent Troops to Korea and nobody protested when the U.S. ended up where they started after three years at the cost of 50,000 Americans killed.The double standard is evident, war is fine during democrat administrations, but bad when republicans are in power.Why do hypocrites think that war is good when democrats are in office but bad if republicans are in power?
I didn't see anyone make such a claim.
Leftist did protest Truman just as they protested Vietnam and every other conflict that pitted us against a Soviet backed regime. They were simply rooting for the Soviets. Their red diaper baby children would go on to protest the Iraq war and Afghanistan war. The difference between now and then is that the red diaper babies have taken over the DNC. Exhibit number one: Barack Obama.
