THIS ISN'T VIETNAM

IT is worth addressing what is happening in Iraq and what many of the naysayers are propagating, specifically, Sen. Ted Kennedy's comment that "Iraq is George Bush's Vietnam." We need to be reminded that we are in a war. Many of us said right after 9/11 that this will be a long and hard war. And it will be. Because of many early victories, we cannot forget that wars are not easy and that they are not clean and, when truly meaningful, they are not short.

This is long overdue. There should have been a chorus of voices rebuking Ted Kennedy and seeking to get him censored. He is pure evil and doesn't give a rat's behind about our America. Thanks for the post.

I just wonder how much of the money the Shiite militias are using to buy weapons might be coming from George Soros? Successfully destabilizing Iraq would be a dream come true for him.

"Iraq is not Vietnam"

No, it isn't; however, Democrat politicians and their accomplices and useful idiots in the Mainstream Newsmedia are doing their best to make it Vietnam.

Every effort possible must be made to enable the American people to resist their relentless propaganda.

NEVER FORGET


...With the damage now done with over 1.5 million poor S.E. Asian souls having lost their lives after our Enemies Within...


JOHN KERRY
WILLIAM CLINTON
HILLARY RODHAM
WALTER CRONKITE


...fooled us into leaving the then Free People of South Vietnam behind to their fate at the hands of invading Communist Bullies from the North...

...the Free Flag of the Republic of South Vietnam has been officially adopted for Vietnamese-American Communities in...

...6 States, including JOHN KERRY's Mass., and 56 American Cities..!!

And to think, just one year ago there were only 2 such Cities and no such States.


City #2 was:


'Garden Grove votes Free South Vietnam Flag -IN-, who's next..?'

Bill Bennett, welcome back into the fray. We missed you and your "tell as it is" arguments.
