Iraq is "clearly is George Bush's Vietnam," said Kennedy, speaking on CBS's "Face The Nation" program.

Let's tell it like it is here, Democrats are masters of the art of manipulating public opinion by words -- ala Goebbels "tell a lie frequently enough and it becomes truth" -- Teddy believes that he can talk the worst case scenario into existence by simply stating it, advocating it, etc. Mr. Kennedy and the Democrat party perfected Goebbels opus and realized the art of creating "quagmires" (no, not Chappaquidick) during Vietnam.

This democRAT strategy of talking the worst into existence is currently manifest in Ted's call to "quagmire". The democRAT collective guilt is further illustrated when, in 2001, the Democrats blamed Bush for "talking down the economy" (simply classic projection) and then spending the next 4 years doing exactly that; namely, talking down the economy.

Democrats are the classic grifters who are so warped and guilt ridden by their grifts that they accuse everyone else of doing precisely what they are doing...It would be funny if it wasn't so pathologically frightening.

Too bad Rose and Joe didn't believe in abortion instead of lobotomies.

I don't question that Iraq is George Bush's Viet Nam. That doesn't bother me at all. What bothers me is that Ted Kennedy and others are out there trying to f**k it up. They take no greater joy than American failure. They are America's failures.

This doofus, Fat Teddie the swimmer, is only surpassed by Bobble Head Schieffer and SeeBS in the mental midget category.

It has "absolutely been a mistake that we went into Iraq, instead of following (September 11 mastermind) Osama bin Laden (news - web sites)," said Kennedy.

Yeah, by all means Senator Swimmer, let's obsess over capturing a man living in a cave or a mud hut somewhere in the tribal territories of Pakistan, and no longer controlling anything, because he's the (now purely) symbolic figurehead of Islamic terrorism.

It's a "blunder" that Dubya has allowed us to be distracted with attacking terrorism where its new sanctuaries and centers threaten to arise and cohere. It's a "blunder" to strike strategically at the real root causes of terrorism -- despotism and dysfunctional cultural stasis -- by pursuing democratic and capitalistic transformation in the Middle East.

As Democrats uniquely understand, it's symbolic victories that we should pursue. Real victories are too hard (and divisive) to achieve. To even make the attempt is a "blunder".

So the leftists in government, the liberal media, and potheads on campus are going to try and make us lose in Iraq too.

12 Feb 55 - President Eisenhower's administration sends 1st 350 U.S. advisers to South Vietnam
to train the South Vietnamese Army
08 Jun 56 - 1st American advisor was killed
5 Sep 56 - President Eisenhower tells a news conference that the French are
"involved in a hopelessly losing war in Indochina"




From a Must Visit Site
Vipers Vietnam Veterans Page, A Vietnam Veteran & Proud Web Site
About Vietnam

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.

Actually, I think it's more like the War of the Roses. Or maybe the Punic Wars? Why not?

He has now said this repeatedly. Why is it news everytime he makes this phony analogy? This is getting to sound like a broken record.

Is Bush doing what ever it takes to win this war? I used to support the war, but I have realized Bush is playing politics with our troops lives.

We chickened out in Fallujah last spring and gave all the terrorists a chance to escape. If I had been president, that city would have been rubble within 20 minutes of them hanging our troops from that bridge.

Even now, terrorists fire on our troops from Mosques and we take it. If I were the president. I'd have aircraft in the air at all times ready with 2000 pound bombs ready to drop an any terrorist sanctuary--even Msoques and schools.

Bush isn't willing to fight like we must win so we won't win.

Bush is tying our troops hands the way Johnson tied our troops hands in Vietnam.
