Well, what’s he waiting for. Grab and gun, a teleprompter, camera’s to hand out to the Taliban supporters, and get over there.
That picture should ban your forevermore from posting pictures. You should be ashamed of yourself.
:)
FReepmail me if you'd like to be added to the list.EEEEEKKKK! lol
Helen, you are the gift that keeps on giving.
Right now the lamestream media are still pretty much in love with their messiah. When they realize that they made him and they can break him, they will smell blood and it won’t be pretty.
Except from our perspective. I only pray that comes sooner rather than later.
I know you warned me but you never really can be prepared for that.
Helen looks more beautiful every day.Like an old wine, she matures well.
I wish I were the President of the U.S.A. I would let Helen question and probe me each and everyday.
Thank you for the picture.
It brought back memories of the late Gen. William C. Westmoreland, the U.S. commander in Southeast Asia, who kept escalating the troop numbers after the 1967 Tet offensive in Vietnam. His strategy produced a debacle for us.
When the besieged Westmoreland requested 240,000 more troops, President Lyndon B. Johnson was shocked. The command in Vietnam had been giving him rosy reports about U.S. military progress that he wanted to believe.
Johnson had been preparing to run for reelection in 1968. However, after the devastating Westmoreland request, Johnson threw in the towel and made the electrifying announcement that he would not seek another term.
Despite haveing lived through it, Helen is no student of
history.
The VC Tet offensive was a debacle, a debacle for the communists! The influx of 240,000 more american troops
at that time would have meant the rout of the communist forces, that combined with the mining of Haipong harbor
would have meant the end of the war. Johnson however, lacked the fortitude to stay with a winning strategy and
QUIT in the middle of the struggle to appease the very people his party nurtured.
She is right on one thing though it IS Obama’s war now.
LOL. Thomas really hates Obama since he tried to silence the DC press corp.
Helen's memory of Vietnam is as selective as that of any liberal's who insists he understood everything about the war but was never there. The war wasn't lost until the troops departed, dear. Remember?
More troops is also reminiscent of...let's see, what was that other country in the Middle East? Began with an "I" if I remember correctly. Helen doesn't, because we won that one. Which is why Vietnam came up instead of it.
Help! I’m blocked at work. Can someone please post an antidote?
Complete bullshit, 100% historical revisionism. Johnson's perfumed princes who never left DC/VA/MD/NY were busy playing Risk at the WH, ignored input from the ground, and held both good and bad news from Vietnam in low esteem. They did not react to reports from anyone with dirty boots, but they reacted strongly to reports from the media (almost all of it bad - especially bad was the coverage of near-successful operations, prompting their cancellation).
Johnson was not interested in winning or losing the war - he and his inner circle wanted to perpetuate it for as long as politically viable for the benefit of certain contractors, as well as to assist in his war on poverty by using part of the pesky undertrained "underclass" to absorb shrapnel. Political interference, political incompetence, media criminality, and political criminality rendered the war in Vietnam a total waste of American life and money. Johnson, McNamara, and the rest are roasting in hell.
Why is the old hag trying to protect the legacy of that butcher? Because of his Great Society expansion of the fascist New Deal? Reflexive action to protect a (D)?
Helen had better be quiet or 0b0z0 will send Jack Kevorkian, his choice of MD to run health care for those of us over the age of 60, to make a house call on Helen.
Seanmerc: What issue of GQ magazine were you featured in? To all you posters who are horrified by Helen Thomas’ picture-post yours for critique
Why do the Helen Thomas posts always seem to show up around lunchtime?
Sheesh! There oughtta be a law!
>>President Barack Obama, a neophyte
Now she tells us.
...”It brought back memories of the late Gen. William C. Westmoreland, the U.S. commander in Southeast Asia, who kept escalating the troop numbers after the 1967 Tet offensive in Vietnam. His strategy produced a debacle for us.”...
Of course, the Tet offensive started at the end of January, 1968, not 1967. Helen Thomas has no credibility.
