So now the lesson of Vietnam was that we pulled out too soon?

[Beelzebud]

Is that what our right-wing, authoritarian, pseudo-fascist president is telling us today?

NO Governor Bush - The Lesson in Vietnam was that wars based on trumped up charges, lies, and bullshit, are NEVER worth fighting.

So we left Vietnam too soon? Easy to say from a draft-dodging cocaine snorting socialite, that lived that time in the safety of a champaign unit in the Texas national guard...

Have I mentioned today how much I HATE this motherfucker?

Oh BTW. September 11th.

If Bush can insert it into every conversation, so can I.

[Hepburn]

1. Yeah, right.....

...we pulled out too soon FROM A FUCKING PLACE WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN AND FUCKING LOST 58,000 US SOLDIERS!

:grr:

That is the mother fucking lesson of VN....I lost friends there and I will never forget that lesson.

[soothsayer]

2. this speech must be a tryout for Rove's replacement

[EFerrari]

3. Nixon RAN on getting us out of Viet Nam, iirc.

I miss Richard M. Nixon. We are so screwn.

[Beelzebud]

4. Bush makes Nixon look good. That is disturbing to say the least...

[Jacobin]

7. And then he escalated the war

Which is why, IMHO he was almost impeached and had to resign. People were pissed about his lying about Viet Nam and Watergate was the excuse to boot him.


Too bad we don't have a congress anymore

[EFerrari]

19. Yes, he escalated the war, drafted my boyfriend and I STILL MISS HIM.

:(

Imho, it was the lie. People hated being made fools of that way.

[TahitiNut]

5. I guess DESERTION doesn't count as "pulling out."

How can any sane person look at the TANG Deserter posture like some Rambo Wannabe and not vomit? :puke:

[WorkingClassGuy]

6. Pulling Out To Soon Is Often A Good Thing

eom

[Poiuyt]

11. I wish George Bush I had pulled out a little sooner

[wtmusic]

8. If only we could have killed another 55,000 soldiers for nothing nt

[SunDrop23]

9. Yet, people believe that shite. Hook, line, and sinker.

Now make sure you check under your car for terraris when you leave.

[China_cat]

10. Should have had enough names for that wall to

stretch all the way around DC

[endarkenment]

12. I agree.

It left our nation-raping lust unsatiated. Now we are off raping other nations.

[Beelzebud]

13. Now MSNBC has a neo-con on telling us the new improved revised History of Vietnam.

And referring to Hillary Clinton saying the surge is working.

Thank hillary. Thanks....

[Webster Green]

14. Those folks on the roof of the U.S. embassy didn't much want to stay..

Easy for the deluded chickenhawk deserter to talk about how others should have remained in Viet Nam while he was scared to go in the first place.

Fuck off chimpy!

[sinkingfeeling]

15. What's wrong with you? Don't you know that if we had continued our attempt

to occupy Vietnam, for at least 50 more years, we'd have created a country where the people could have lived in peace and became a favored trading partner with us! If Bush had been president in 1970, he'd have 'supported' the troops and made sure that no one left alive.

[EstimatedProphet]

16. Of course

Had we killed everyone in SE Asia and repopulated the region with white Methodist car salesmen from Dubuque IA then we wouldn't have any troubles in the region right now, would we?

:sarcasm:

[shadowknows69]

18. I believe that's the eventual plan

Leaving just enough alive to do all those jobs that 'Muricans won't do.

[shadowknows69]

17. I can't believe he even went there

I mean Vietnam is pretty much universally considered our greatest fuck up (until Iraq eventually becomes it) by all sides isn't it?
