You said (Vietnam)--"Among those demanding the pullout Now! was Uncle Walter. He started it in 1968. It encouraged the Communist to keep fighting. After the war they gave the American press their coveted "General Giap Most Valuable Guerilla Award."

myself says: I agree with you and, imho, it worked so well for the Democrats in 1968 they are doing it again.

Hillary Rodham Clinton (they liked myself) and the Democrats will again try to turn this into a physiological war, a political war. Instead of what it is - a War Against Terrorists. A war that will never end!

Clinton said "In a demoralizing message to U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq, visiting New York Sen. Hillary Clinton told them that Americans back home are growing increasingly skeptical of President Bush's decision to send them into battle." "She also suggested that the U.S. could eventually loose the war in Iraq, contending, "We have to exert all of our efforts militarily, but the outcome is not assured."

"Now Uncle Walter says, "But suspicions were raised by the new timetable, which would put an Iraqi council in charge by next June and send a substantial number of American troops home. It might be simply coincidental that this timing meshes with next year's re-election campaign."

you said"He may have a point. Today's political/media quagmire is so like the one a generation ago that Uncle Walter may get what he wants -- not a victory for international socialism this time -- but a humiliation of America and a big step toward giving our sovereignty to the U.N. We'll see. If it happens it's the third and last chance we had to learn that politics should not run major wars, a patriot-dictator should. IMO."

myself says: I understand and agree with your concern and I have to trust President George Bush when he says, "We did not charge hundreds of miles into the heart of Iraq and pay a bitter cost of casualties and liberate 25 million people only to retreat before a band of thugs and assassins.

Yes, I was mindful of the President's statement. He has taken the war to the enemy where it belongs. His commitment would go without question had I not watched the events of the late 1960s and early 1970s. His administration, state and local non-political authorities have done an outstanding job here, too.

But the left's hatred of Nixon then and Bush now is matched in intensity only by their dedication to use the war on terror as a means to end our sovereignty without revolution. IMO. Nixon, elected 520 to 17 electoral votes in 1972, had a similar commitment. He was destroyed by the left in about a year, though today it's different because we have a free press. That was a war six thousand miles away. This war is for all the marbles.

I guess my real point is, NO POLITICS THIS TIME! Though I despise the President's, et al. open borders policy and apparent permission for the corrupt government of Mexico to meddle in all of our internal affairs at all levels of government and private enterprises, nevertheless he must "put on his stovepipe hat" and take full control. If he does not do it then let's get a military patriot to mount up and be our Man on Horseback. Korea, Vietnam, and now the very survival of our sovereign Republic. Suspend elections, what ever it takes. I'd rather lose my rights temporarily than permanently.
