"How North Vietnam Won The War," Wall Street Journal August 3, 1995
An interview with Bui Tin, a former colonel in the North Vietnamese army, conducted by Stephen Young, a Minnesota attorney and human-rights activist. Bui Tin served on the general staff of North Vietnam's army He later immigrated to Paris after becoming disillusioned with the fruits of Vietnamese communists.
"Q: Was the American antiwar movement important to Hanoi's victory?
"A: It was essential to our strategy. . . ."
[End of excerpt]
There's a difference between free-speech opposition to your government's policy and anti-government antics that help the enemy.
I believe that after the war the NV admitted that they were ready to talk serious peace by 1969 (after Tet) but they saw the "anti-war" movement growing in the U.S.
"Anti-war" equals more deaths.
Give victory a chance.
Kudos to you. I bugged out of work early as they were planning to close most of the streets and on/off ramps to the 405 freeway in West Los Angeles. The wild eyed leftists roaming the halls at work were so excited about the protest monkeys they were leaving snail trails.
Translation: It all -ALL of this rubbish- comes down to personal cowardice.
(acid quill, just for your delight, o my sister)
What if "progressives" held a protest and no one showed up?
In Cleveland, the commies and kids cutting school crowd were smaller than the number of police and newsies working the event. LOL!
So when Clinton was convicted of lying under oath we sealed the fate of "Bush the Liar" . If the next democrat president is actually CONVICTED of rape or theft or some other such nonsense, then the republican that follows him (or her) will be XXXXX the rapist or XXXXX the thief...etc.
I'm going to make a buck on the whole thing and start printing T-shirts now. Can anyone figure out how to make the idea 'Rice is a thief' rhyme with "Hey Hey ... Ho Ho...?"
Impatience is a serious disease.
The NYTIMES cut the dead marines' letter to his girlfriend to make him look like he was against the war. Freepers get out in the streets and stop these socialist now before it is too late.
after she's elected it will be: Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho; Condi Rice Has got to Go.
I am, indeed, delighted, my brother.
sehr gut, meine schwester
Where is the , "joined by the entire reporting and editorial staff of the NYTimes newspaper", huh?
As Foghorn Leghorn would say, "That boy's about as sharp as a bag of bowling balls."
You guys gotta get new material. The fascist boogie is a bit long in the tooth.
Please...PLEASE...tell me that this was what Pied Piper Pitt was talking about sometime ago. That this IS/WAS that "something big will happen on November 2nd" he mentioned on DU.
Please...make me giddy...please.
They are if they do not enlist. Where do they find these idiots? Sheesh....
You know, I think you're right. I recall Something Big was going to happen in early November. In fact, I think it was supposed to be November 2, the anniversary of BushCo's most recent stealing of an election. So that means yesterday was . . . Still Another Day When Everything Finally Changed!
Cue Lucy with the football.
I left work early yesterday also, since we had received the "Traffic Advisory" earlier in the day.
Later, I watched local news. CBS2 reported "hundreds" of marchers and showed footage of some rag-tag protestors. ABC7 gave a much more sympathetic report. Melissa McBride sounded like she was reading the WCW press release verbatim; they interviewed a few idiots, reported 500 in attendance at the Federal Building and that was it.
Anyway, the event was obviously a total failure. In fact, it was encouraging to see that there was more law enforcement out in the streets than protestors.
500 people was a generous estimate!!! The City never should have shut those streets down....
Maybe these kids would prefer to live in la belle France and be raped and brutalized by Muslim thugs.
Correct. Much ado about nothing.
