Actually, I prefer the first one without the plane.
The contrast between our President and Moi Flip Flop Kerri is incredible.
Thanks for the ping. This is precisely what the RATS and their media are trying to do -- again.
The Democratic/Republican party is a Vermont local thing. It's just another party, never mind what they call it.
This is a great piece..
LOL!
He's gonna sprain his neck. ;o)
The only similarity between Vietnam and Iraq is the Media's wish for us to lose, both then and now.
Will do. On advice from Freepers, I obtained Ann Coulter's, "Treason" and "Camp of the Saints" by Jean Raspail. No risk here.
to reiterate -- Term limits.
***.......When Democrat Jimmy Carter was elected in 1976, he had large congressional majorities to work with. Carter described the Vietnam War as "moral poverty" in action. One of his first acts was to pardon all draft evaders — at a time when families were still mourning soldiers dead in battle.
Carter preached anti-anti-communism: As the U.S. military deteriorated for lack of funds and confidence, and Cuban troops with Soviet advisors moved into Angola and Ethiopia, Carter's secretary of State announced that "to oppose Soviet or Cuban involvement in Africa would be futile." This was foreign policy as the left liked it.....***
Only in the United States do they have such freedom of speech.
"There is no way Leaky or any of the socialist congress people would move to a Cuba,etc. Why should they....when they can spew their vile hatred for this country and still have a leadership position.
Only in the United States do they have such freedom of speech."
Yes, only in America can these hate America lefties smear our country 24/7/365 with no fear and be heroes to about 50% of the population. Then, they are elected and re elected to spew their vile hatred from a nation podium to their Hate America Voting Cult followers.
This statement really burns me.
Leahy is such a POS.
Hopefully some CIA agents who might have been outed due to this POS will bring criminal civil charges against him.
How do our military feel when they read such anti-Iraq war,just another Vietnam war ,bla,bla,bla by a US Senator?
What would this POS do if all military was to lay down arms and tell the Leathy's of this country, KMA and see how long your freedom of speech lasts without us?
You can bet the socialist rats would be the first to have the military shot on sight.
Leahy and his band of Hate America $inators and Congre$$its would disband our military if they had the opportunity. Then they would have war crimes trials for any good soldier, marine, sailor, airman or coastie.
There are a number of major tactical and political differences too. A large percentage of the troops in Vietnam were draftees while the Iraq War is fought entirely with volunteers. This makes a huge difference politically and makes the Iraq War much easier to sustain politically. Tactically Iraq is less difficult on the whole than Vietnam because we're not fighting an organized, trained army and the desert terrain gives our troops a huge advantage in any kind of conventional warfare.
The insurgents have been largely limited to fighting us with roadside bombs and suicide car bombers. Those are tough tactics to deal with but it's not nearly as tough as fighting the North Vietnamese army in areas with tropical forests and generally heavy vegetation. If we can develop some better ways to detect roadside bombs, then we will have the insurgents in a checkmate tactically. It can't happen a minute too soon.
