Politicians sticking their noses into a war was our biggest mistake during the Vietnam War.
And it's being repeated again
They have learned nothing from history
You are SO right...and that is why I have had my antennae out for a long time.
I know what happened that caused the end of the Vietnam war...as you do...and I think I may have even posted here at some point, that I would do anything in my power not to let that happen again.
If that just means calling out our Congress and telling them to get out of the military's way...and not wanting them to micromanage a war I will.
I have no idea how much the Salon story is right or not...but, I say the whole situation is rotten.
FGS....the TERRORISTS know our history better than some of our Congresscritters!!! They KNOW what will get Washington all shaking in their plush offices...
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRrr
