Date 1975, President Gerald R. Ford Asks a heavily controlled Democratic congress for 380 million dollars to help the South Vietnamese fend off the push by the North Vietnamese to control all of Vietnam.

This happened right after the resignation of Richard Nixon and the Democrats took power in a big way in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Right after President Ford pardoned Nixon. The amount of outrage from the Democrats aimed at Ford for pardoning Nixon was off the scale, Ted Kennedy lambasted Ford for doing so, but in recent years admitted it was the best thing Ford could have done for the country at the time. Most people agree that pardoning Nixon was the right thing to do at the time, so the country could begin the healing process.

Anyways the Democrats refused to even hear the bill For money Ford was trying to get passed, they refused to even hear about it, let alone vote on it. In a few weeks due to the Democrats treachery South Vietnam fell and over 2 and 1/2 million people were "purged" or jailed by the "benevolent" northern communist Vietnamese.

Could the Democrats sell the Iraqis out the same way? I think they could and would if the opportunity presented itself. After all the talk from the left about redeployment and cutting and running I could very easily see the democrat controlled congress refusing to allow any money to continue to fight the war on terror after all there track record is to sell out those they no longer need or those that have become a liability.
