"I kept watching the news for word that Ford had sent in troops and planes. I couldn't believe he would just let it fall. Damn the Congress, he was commander in chief."

Ford was driving the car but a 'Rat Congress was paying for the gas.

"They should be called bitchocrats."

the revolutionary social democrats. . .

Viet Nam war veterans might be interested in this.

Ann's intro was superb, as was the rest of the article. She's an amazing woman who made a brilliant career by simply telling the truth.

It would have worked, but the Democrats were desperate for America to lose. They invented "Watergate," the corpus delicti of which wouldn't have merited three column-inches during the Clinton years, and hounded Nixon out of office. (How's Sandy Berger weathering that tough wrist-slap?)

Ann is a national treasure.

He could have ordered action, leaving the Dims three options: Refuse to fund U.S military opns, cough up the dough, and / or try to impeach him. He didn't.

He could have stripped U.S ammo, etc., out of U.S bases, and sent it to the ARVN, and appropriated money to restock. He didn't.

He could have gone to the American people [like Reagan used to], and fight for money and aid in public. He didn't. Instead, he presided over the betrayal of people who trusted our word and fought along side us, who fought respectably on their own [An Loc], as long as they had ammo, and who were either killed, or went into the long winter of the "reeducation" camps. But hey, he stormed the MEYAGUEZ.

Ford was a political insider, more comfortable losing his shirt to Frank Church and the rest of those idiots than leading. A decent man. A small President.

CPT, ARMOR
MACV, Class of 1971.

They may not have "invented" it, but they sure did blow it out of proportion and decided to play on Nixon's insecurities so that he self-destructed.

All they did was to weaken a country.

Hear hear. That alone suddenly makes me wary of taking her seriously.

[Brilliant]

Good piece. I think she's gotten back her groove.

[Rummyfan]

Ann Coulter ping!

[sappy]

She's awesome.

[teletech]

Now, there's a stretch, even from Miz Kolter

I hear DU calling you. Why don't you run along now and let the grownups discuss.

[parisa]

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but this commentary makes me profoundly sad. :^(

[budwiesest]

Perhaps someone wants their burger 'over easy' ;^)

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

Ms. Colter got me really laughing on this...

(Of the fall of Saigon) It was the most demeaning image of America ever witnessed, until Britney Spears came along.

Southeast Asia was promptly consumed in a maelstrom of violence that seems to occur whenever these "Jeffersonian Democrats" come to power. Communist totalitarians swept through Laos, Cambodia and all of Vietnam. They staged gruesome massacres so vast that none other than Sen. George McGovern called for military intervention to stop a "clear case of genocide" in Cambodia.

Truly a dark chapter in our history, and it was eminently preventable.

In addition to being wrong about Ford's pardon of Nixon, liberals were wrong about a few other things from that era. Democrats haven't admitted error in rejecting Ford's pleas on behalf of South Vietnam....

Those that have admitted ti are no longer Democrats, they've left the party. But Kennedy and Kerry and Fonda and Hayden and their ilk have never admitted that their actiosn led to the slaughter of millions, two million alone in Cambodia.

As someone said, Vietnam experienced war for almost forty years, but it wasn't until the Communist takeover in 1975 that people felt compelled to paddle out into the South China Sea on anything that would float.

He could have ordered action, leaving the Dims three options: Refuse to fund U.S military opns, cough up the dough, and / or try to impeach him. He didn't.>>>>>>>>>>

And Reagan invented the 4th option: seek privately generated funding for the Contra effort. Reagan would not lay and take it when the dems cut of funding for the Black Op under Oly North.

Now we are coming up to a showdown on the same issue again, The dems cut funding for Vietnam, The ems cut funding for presidentail policy on the Contras, and noew they will cut funding for the WOT.

What will Bush do? Will he use the 4th option. I think President Bush has a plan B, and that Saudi funding for the war in Iraq is already plumbed out, and the tap is waiting to be turned.

The congress may control funding but they do not control war policy on a war that was voted for in Congress in both houses. The Dems cannot prevent the president from exercising his power as CinC.The Dems want American defeat in Iraq, for their own demeaning political ends, and I do not believe our president will give them the defeat of America in Iraq. He will, like Reagan, exercise option 4.

if there wasn't an Ann Coulter , we'd have to invent her...right on the money..

All they did was to weaken a country.

Their hatred of Nixon was deep and abiding, going back to his very first camapign against Helen whats-her-name in California, his role in the Hiss case, the Checkers speech, etc etc. To top that off, most of the establishment media, and maybe especially Katherine Graham of the WaPo, strongly disliked (hated?) him too.
