We agree Iraq is another Vietnam. Thanks for your help.

[cripplecreek]

Anybody care to calculate how many years it will take to lose 58,000 American troops in Iraq at the current rate?

[evad]

Regurgitations from another tired old anti American hack!

[Semper Paratus]

Ellsberg should have been forced to cough up his sources for revealing military secrets like Judy Miller.

[L98Fiero]

About 60 years.

The big similarities are a bunch of back stabbing politicians and enemy sympathizers in the press.

[Bommer]

Good old Danny. Still trying like hell to be relevant!

[LibFreeOrDie]

"...spoke to a crowd of more than 400 people Saturday at a local high school in Maplewood.

Wow! That's a record-breaking crowd! /s

[DJ Taylor]

This posting is in dire need of a "Barf Alert." Without a warning, I read the whole thing and now....aaurrghhh

[Brilliant]

The primary similarity is that the war protestors are undermining our effort in Iraq, just as they did in Vietnam.

[thegreatbeast]

My God, when will the ridiculous comparisons to Vietnam finally be universally recognized as cheesy and the last refuge of tired, old and unapolagetic communists?

[TexasTransplant]

Why hasn't this clown been backed up against a wall and suffered a severe lead poisoning attack?

50 years ago we wouldn't have to ask why, just why so long.

LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH IN THE UNITED STATES

Ellsberg believes in freedom for himself. Others can hope to jump on a boat or run like hell through the rice paddies with a baby on their back. Cambodian and dead Vietnamese thank you Danny. Communism isn't all that bad to people living outside the Mao bubble. I am betting Ellsberg never studied anything about how the Chinese Communists came to power and what they did to the Chinese people. Ellsberg has to be blood kin to Mr. Berg

[eddie willers]

Ellsberg should have been forced to cough up his sources for revealing military secrets like Judy Miller.

Agreed.

[Recon Dad]

The shame of this is if asked for equal time for those that support the war they wouldn't allow you access to Maplewood High. But in the liberal enclave of Maplewood, you might have problems getting any support.

[indianrightwinger]

Amen. Traitors like him should be behind bars. Not in front of school crowd.

[afnamvet]

There are NO simularities between the Vietnam war and the war on terror. Period.

[isrul]

I'm shocked to see that pig, Ellsberg, is still here, after all these years.

Ellsberg should have been forced to cough up his sources for revealing military secrets like Judy Miller.

Outsource this to the Jordanians for gathering source information. Ellsberg belongs in prison.
