Most Americans know this, which is why Republicans are more trusted with America's defense than Democrats. Then there was Franlin Delano Roosevelt giving away most of central Europe to Stalin. Then there was Jimmy Carter, his malaise and decimation of the American military. And now we have B.J. Clinton. Well that's certinaly the most glaring case of the pot calling the kettle black.
