What is a bigger failure, Reagan's war on drugs or Bush's war on Iraq? (wages, terrorism)

[Hot_Handz]

The war on poverty is definitely a failure...

You can make the argument that the war on drugs is working...because it is...it's working very well.

Gee, it did not take long for this to be an obama bashing post, considering that there were only two options; "war on drugs or Iraq war"

Obama is the food stamp president that's why.

Your scandals have fallen apart(DOJ was never a scandal), you still dont know the definition of recession, and what prestige lowering are you talking about ?

Obama continuance of the war in the middle east and expanding it.

58,000 American lives were lost in Vietnam for nothing.

When are we going to learn that we can't be the worlds police.

the war in Afganistan will end in 2014.

You think the war on drugs is also a bigger failure than Vietnam???

Because Afghanistan is worse than Vietnam and Obama made sure of this...

Vietnam isn't one of the options, pretty sure about that.

I'm thinking Bush's war on Iraq was worse.

Ronald and Nancy Reagan's war on drugs was started for an honorable cause, they did it to keep America's children off of drugs.

Yes the war on drugs created some undesirable side effects, but there were no lies, manipulation, or (clear) death caused by it.

War on drugs because that's had a much, much bigger effect on Americans than the Iraq war has.

So, what's the problem?

Conservatives who speak as if administrations like Reagan's were as pure as the driven snow should feel right at home in FantasyLand.
