Maybe they figure if they say it enough times, people will start to agree. I'm not a democrat so I don't know why that would be a good thing however.
A bit of friendly advice: you're getting elderly and haven't cared well for your health these past few decades. It may be a good idea to be thinking of where your soul is likely to spend eternity and focus your attention in that direction rather than continuing the bitter partisan attacks of your younger earthly conterparts. You may have deferred earthly judgement concerning your treatment of Mary Jo for a few decades, but ultimate judgement is soon to come.
P.S. The ACLU and the Democratic machine hold no sway with the court you will face.
And Chappaquidick was Mary Jo Kopechne graveyard. Too bad it wasn't Teddy's Cambodia or Vietnam.
I am so sick of the Vietnam allusion. Vietnam was due to the left's cowardice and treason.
Nobody watches the show and nobody cares what "The Floater" thinks. So, it's a double nobody story!
I.hate.ted.kennedy.
"Iraq is clearly George Bush's Vietnam", said kennedy...
How would he know?
ted kennedy hasn't seen anything "clearly" for over 2 decades.
The Vietnam war was the longest in our nation's history.
1st American advisor was killed on June 08, 1956,
and the last casualties in connection with the war occurred on May 15, 1975, during the Mayaquez incident. Approximately 2.7 million Americans served in the war zone; 300,000 were wounded and approximately 75,000 permanently disabled. Officially there are still 1,991 Americans unaccounted for from SE Asia.
Vietnam was a savage, in your face war where death could and did strike from anywhere with absolutely no warning. The brave young men and women who fought that war paid an awful price of blood, pain and suffering. As it is said: "ALL GAVE SOME ... SOME GAVE ALL"
The Vietnam war was not lost on the battlefield. No American force in ANY other conflict fought with more determination or sheer courage than the Vietnam Veteran. For the first time in our history America sent it's young men and women into a war run by inept politicians who had no grasp of military strategies and no moral will to win. They were led by "top brass" who were concerned mainly with furthering their own careers, most neither understood the nature of the war nor had a clue about the impossible mission with which they'd tasked their soldiers. And the war was reported by a self serving Media who penned stories filled with inaccuracies, deliberate omissions, biased presentations and blatant distorted interpretations because they were more interested in a story than the truth! It can be debated that we should never have fought that war. It can also be argued that the young Americans who fought so courageously, never losing a single major battle, helped in a huge way to WIN THE COLD WAR.
And "Chappaqui-DICK" screwed your presidency!
He's not even worth commenting on.
A liver is a terrible thing to waste, Ted. So's a brain.
Teddy should go back to making commecials for Oldsmobile.
Dear Ted: Stifle yourself. If your dad hadn't struck it rich, you would be sitting in some obscure bar in Southie getting bombed.
How does this malevolent buffoon remain both alive and in office?
Is this anything along the lines of, oh, say Teddy Kennedy's Chappaquiddick? - A comparison ought to be out there somewhere; though it escapes me.
I don't think that Iraq would be America's or Bush's Vietnam War. Iraq and Vietnam are two different stories. The Vietnam War are all part of the cold war whose purpose was to test American military equipment in battle against Russian military equipment. While it may appear to be a local war, the Vietnam War was really part of a larger war between the United States and Russia. That is why the participants were very enthusiastic about the outcome of the war.
That Iraq's future being one of the new democracies in the Middle East cannot be denied. It is just a matter of time when the new Iraqi government sets up a successful republican government in Iraq sans Saddam's dictatorship. Iraq's new government will be different from the Islamic government in Iran. Except for the violent overthrow of the former Saddam government, the new Iraqi government has not used terrorism to put down its opponents unlike the Iranian revolutionaries. It is a republican government that was installed by the Americans using the most acceptable forms of republicanism found in the West. There are no concentration camps in Iraq and neither does an Iraqi fear execution should he not found favor with the new government. When Khomeini took over Iran, there were plenty of executions to take care of dissidents who could not be assimilated to the new Iranian hegemony. The new Iraqi government will be a centerpoint of Islamic republicanism much more different from Islamic republicanism practised in Iran. Dissent will be tolerated and the people can always change the form of government they want. This is not possible in Iran.
