Quagmire Alert!!!
This is DISGUSTING!! I have a hard time not hating these people.
Lord, help me, please.
As long as it takes to get the job done, Mr. Herbert. Our boys know why they're over there. It's leftists like you, trivializing each and every soldier over there as a number, that shows you're really just politicizing the lives of our men and women in uniform.
I thought Iraq was on schedule for January elections. Did I miss something?
Somehow this line has become recognized as one of the great pieces of American Rhetoric. Right up there with "I have a dream" and "Ask not what your country can do for you".
I've never understood Kerry's line. It makes no sense. You don't ask a man to die. And the war was not a mistake. We should have fought on to victory -- millions of lives would have been saved.
im gonna stay out of it i don't think you people want me to opine... i think you know my thought's, it's to early in the morning for this...
Yes, Mr. Herbert, I am questioning your patriotism.
The MSM will do what they can to repeat Vietnam. Should be clear to all by now. No matter what the polls, don't let up.
"George W. Bush is now trapped as tightly in Iraq as Johnson was in Vietnam. The war is going badly. The president's own intelligence estimates are pessimistic. There is no plan to actually win the war in Iraq, and no willingness to concede defeat."
Mr. Herbert you are an immoral piece of dirty bird dropping. You still have the right, to babel on about things which you are either ignorant of or you are just plain perverted.
None of the US conflicts since 1975 can be accurately described as "another Vietnam" since they
a) aren't taking place in Vietnam
b) aren't being fought by draftees
c) have not had policy dictated by the press
If the USA is having problems in Iraq, which we are, it is because, in large measure, the Democrat Party has not gotten behind the President to present the enemy with one unified USA face. All the Democrat Party has done is to undermine the war effort, the rebuilding and democracy tasks in Iraq and given aid and comfort to our enemies. The Muslim terrorists will only keep up the pressure as long as the Democrat Party undermines the USA effort. If GW Bush is re-elected, it will be all over for the terrorists. Bush can go forward at full speed protecting America, without the anchor of traitorism so evidenced by the current Democrat Party. If the American voters have any smarts they will not only handily defeat John Kerry, but they will also destroy the Democrat Party in total!!!

Can we afford to lose this war? How many post-war deaths are acceptable? How many hits on this territory are within limits after a US withdrawal fires up a few million islamokillers worldwide? I guess its pretty clear that that area of the world is just not worth it, right?
White flags look good on the backs of American GIs--and the heads of the pinheads at the NYT.
Hebert is too old to be ignorant. He is a hateful and spiteful old man.
Where is the BARF Alert?
Just like Kerry and Viet Nam, the left is giving the enemy hope and sound bites to support their "army."
Like the left lost us the Viet Nam war, they're trying to make us lose this one, too.
If the left was pro-American, and the people banded together to fight terrorism on it's own soil, this war would be over.
BS. This is AMERICA's WAR for survival. When are these old lefties going to give it up. They lost the battle for the hearts and minds of the american people in the 60's and 70's. They are going to lose again.
Some minds are more susceptible than others to the cultural psychosis induced by the Islamic cults.
After 30 years of roaming the globe, murdering innocents with impunity, and claiming victimhood of occupation by Israel, these death cults are seeking to do the same to the 50 million souls in Iraq and Afganistan.
And the left and other intelligentsia, fall for it again/still.
