I can't think of any group of people who miss President Bush more than our troops in harm's way.
We really need to pray hard for them. They have no CinC any more, but they're still fighting the war.
helping our military and saving their lives is not in the to do list
getting homos to be open in the military and have a bunch of drama queen homos is
No words express how I feel about him, his freeloading family and folks like nancy pelosi.
they make me sick

LOL
Yea pigs flying outside my house too
Bob Kerry, Sheila Johnson.......seems to be a pattern here....who next?...Barbara Strisand?.....George Clooney ?.......
“Even a stopped watch.............................
Bob Kerrey’s a pretty good guy, Democrat or not.
Where have the Clinton’s been lately? BO must have some really bad stuff on them that’s keeping them quiet.
Bob Kerry and Diane Feinstein both basically calling BO a chicken sh&^t. I’m hoping the gloves will be off now. Yes, to a previous poster, the radical thinking that BO was raised on is producing great conflict for him. He and Ayers and their ilk hate the military might of the USA and that does present that “tiny” problem.
Actually the truth is something like that. The side we were backing were the heirs of the French colonials, large landholders extracting oppressive rents from peasants.
One of the problems with Vietnam was that socially, economically and politically we were not on the right side of the war. Thus winning hearts and minds was nearly an impossible task, not that that is a tactic we tried much of.
It was one of the worst fought wars in the history of warfare. We completely overmatched the other side militarily and still managed to keep so much of the population against us that anything like winning was impossible.
John Kerry did not get a Medal of Honor. He actually did serve in Vietnam. This is about Bob Kerrey, who also served and lost the lower part of a leg in combat. This Kerrey deserves our respect.
kristinn, Thanks for posting this.
I need new glasses.
No problem. :)
Hope you are right.
What is with Feinstein???
Well, the perspective you present is what I got in the news while growing up and what I was taught at the university. I was born in ‘64, so a little to young to have been a participant (at least on the American side).
It’s NOT what I’m getting from Lewis Sorley’s _A Better War_, which covers 1968-1975 and which I’m reading right now, or what I gleaned from Moyars _Triumph Forsaken_.
Thanks for the ping.
Telling Obamna to emulate President Bush (in anything) is probably an exercise in futility.
And Obama probably sees it as an insult. I wonder if Rahm will attack Kerry before sunset tomorrow?
