It sure is comical to see GWB successfully use Vietnam to beat the Dems over the head. It's an interesting stratergery.

Good article. The Democrats are invested in defeat and good news is leaving them politically stranded. And the pro-victory forces are just beginning to turn up the political heat. Stay tuned!

The liberals and their media are too stupid to understand that it was their defeatism and treason in Vietnam that has brought the Republican Party to political dominance in particular in the executive branch and winning the White House five times out of the last seven elections. Few years after Vietnam the American people realized that Vietnam was not lost on the battlefield but it was undermined by liberals and their media here at home and since then the democrats have been viewed by a majority of voters as defeatists and not to be trusted with national defense in particular in time of war.

Now liberals and their media are committing the same treason regarding the Iraq war, the good news is that we are winning this war despite the defeatists and traitors among us. Also the majority of voters will remember the defeatism and treason of liberal in this war for many years to come and the democrats will pay a very heavy political price for it.

Gee whiz, President Bush actually compared Iraq and Vietnam. How dare he! And he had to be the first to do that!

Sure he was. < /sarcasm>

Thank you President Bush!

Sorry, but I don’t think the Dems are looking at the comparison in depth. They just see this as an opportunity to score a few cheap political points and look worried for our troops to a public who already see them as callous, uncaring, and trasonous. I mean, can you really see John Effin Kerry in a meeting with aides pouring over the Vietnam references and debating the phraseology of a public rebuke?

“The V-word is lodged in folk memory as an unwinnable war that America should never have fought, that wasted blood and treasure, and that, most woundingly, bitterly split the nation.”

Only for morons. Vietnam was one theater of a very bitter cold war. Our efforts there showed both the Soviet Union and China that we would go the extra mile to block the spread of communism, and helped greatly, IMO, to bring to an end that system of tyranny. Much of what the modern world has become, with Russia and China moving - albeit at a snail’s pace - into econmic liberalism and democracy is owed to the troops who fought in that thankless war. History will document this fact after the smug Baby Boomer Ageing Hippie Liberal America-bashers have passed from the scene and a generation with greater insight and far greater objectivity takes over the task of writing the texts of the period.

The Democrats hate hearing about Vietnam because they refuse to take responsibility for their actions.

Back in 1972-73, America promised continuing support of the South Vietnamese, which the Democrats reneged on by ending financial support. We all watched from our televisions as the North Vietnamese rolled into Saigon in 1975. The killing fields continued unabated.

The Democrats of today promise NO SUPPORT OF ANY KIND to the Iraqis, only “cut and run.”

Then what, imbeciles? Boots on the ground in Israel in three or four years?

IMO, the Vietnam war was “lost” by DC politicians and anti-war, anti-America traitors. Our brave soldiers didn’t lose the Vietnam War. Political hacks and political games lost the war. Vietnam-era 60’s politicians and Liberals have our soldiers’ blood on their hands and on what little conscience they have. Today’s traitorous politicians are equally as guilty as 60’s DC politicians. Too bad the politicians of the 60’s and those of today, can’t be sent to the war zone for a good dose of reality. They should have to serve and be ruled by the same political BS and rules of engagement like our brave American patriots were and are today. Politicians should have their lives put on the line using the stupid rules of war issued by DC morons playing games. IMO, it’s disgusting and an American disgrace. Each of these political slimes will face their God and have to confess their dirty deeds and power-hungry tricks. They’re not worthy of licking the bottoms of our soldiers’ boots.
