Good one by VDH as always.
It's my recollection that the Milosevic-spawned "mass graves" turned out to be pretty much fiction. A few bodies here and there, but that's about it.
And unlike Iraq, with all the bleating about "Where's the WMD?", there was no complaining about "Where are the mass graves in Kosovo?".
Not that it's a big surprise; the president who bombed Serbia had a "D" after his name.
I seem to remember that eight American soldiers died in the Carter-sponsored fiasco known as "Desert One" in Iran, although perhaps Goober the House Builder doesn't consider that this occurred "on his watch" as he never kept watch over anthing except his own political career.
I've got to say I'm a big fan of VDH, however he has been writing the same article for 1 year. He lacks the freshness of a Mark Steyn. VDH is stale.
"For those who now associate the crimes of a few with an entire war effort, do any think that women and children were not maimed and worse when Bill Clinton—with no Senate approval and no effort to go to the U.N.—bombed downtown Belgrade on the righteous logic that the risk of collateral damage (500-1000 charred Serbian civilians?) was worth taking to stop a genocide? Do we remember that NATO planes mistakenly hit passenger trains, buses, an embassy, a rest home, a hospital, and apartment buildings?"
The above paragraph should be sent DAILY to every rag that prints any story defaming our military in Iraq.
We should demand that BlowJobBilly be held to the same standards as our brave Marines.
Well Mr. Hanson, rest assured the graying vets that experienced the vile and treasonous effects of the "graying antiwar types won't go quietly into the night" either.
Should any of our young heroes be subjected to anywhere near the treatment we received upon their return, "WE" will be in the street with baseball bats returning swings for spits.
Never Again!!! Not on my watch anyway.
No, I'm afraid they will not.
Perhaps they are waiting for Walter Cronkite to lead them to Walhall, where they can play their mock combat.
One can only hope that Einherjar calls him home soon, so they may follow.
A war against Serbia is one of my rare disagreements with VDH.
The Dem-Libs have made the choice that it is better for them if we leave Iraq with our tails between our legs because they would gain power. Conversely, it is bad for them if we stay in Iraq, institute a democratic government and leave as heroes. That would cause them to lose power. All of their BS is a rancid power grab.
".....After all, to fight in Darfur is NOT to prance in and declare victory, but to send these same now-demonized Marines into a disease-infested sinkhole, where “civilians” kill and there is no real way to distinguish friend from foe....."
Good editorial.
Your cartoon pic describes what the leftists' agenda is all about.
Pookie's toon thread had it Wednesday and it is hearbreakingly accurate..
The Donk Dance. Disgusting.
