“HALP US JON CARY.... WE R STUK IN IRAK”

Why does Jon Vichy Cary still think anyone cares what he has to say about anything?

“Invoking the tragedy of Vietnam to defend the failed policy in Iraq is as irresponsible as it is ignorant of the realities of both of those wars,” Senator Kerry said.


Tragedy, failed policy, realities...The reality is that surrendering is a failed policy that led to the tragic(but 100% predictable)loss of life for millions of Cambodians, Laotians, and Vietnamese people. And no amount of tinkering with history will ever change that.

This is a serious wound for the RATS and their net roots allies. They are all going crazy.

Besides that the NYT, WaPo and LA Times all have major editorials telling Bush is either stupid or nuts.

Hey, Krugman of the NYT even wrote commentary claiming the Republicans are racist, etc. He relied on the Willie Horton thing again. No mention that Al Gore initiated the complaint when he ran against Dukakis nor that the Massachusetts legislature was so incensed they passed a bill taking away the Governor’s right to pardon such egregious offenders. Even better Dukakis swallowed hard and signed it. Competence you know!

MSM,RATS and net roots are all marching on orders from the DNC. Will it work? I think not.

Does Kerry ever wonder why he was rejected by vote in ‘04? It is a good thing that the Medidiots keep giving him a forum to remind us all why we re-elected GWB.
Wonder what Howie Carr will say?

Kerry is an unscrupulous liar who used Vietnam to advance his own political fortunes.

...failed policy in Iraq....

Any policy that removes a brutal dictator's jack-boot from the necks of 26 million people is a "failed" one only in the eyes of extremely hard-hearted people.

Any policy that removes an avowed America-hater with access to billions in oil money, who could have clandestinely funded many more masacres like the one on 9-11, is not a failed policy.

We were attacked on 9-11 not from an abundance of hate but for an extreme lack of respect for the consequences. Any policy that shows the enemy that we are willing to stand and die to protect ourselves is not a failed policy.

‘Tragic similarities’, as in Kerry and the rest of his party playing the role of America’s tragic flaw, and bringing to ruin the noble efforts of a noble nation?

Wasn’t that Kerry who gave a speech at the VFW and a number of the vets stood up with their backs to Kerry as he spoke?

It must be great to live in the alternate reality that Kerry is in. This is the same guy who said there was no bloodbath after we left Viet Nam, just some people in reeducation camps, but no big deal.

Indeed it was.

The irony of Kerry speaking of the "tragedy" of Vietnam is his failure to list himself as one who had an instrumental part in creating a tragedy of that event and its aftermanth.

History repeats itself now with the tragedy he hopes to foist on the world with a world in flames that only a strong and firm progressive world socialist government can put right.

It hasn’t failed yet, John, but you and your colleagues keep up your earnest efforts towards that goal, and maybe it will fail.

Hey LIP! Fellow Darth Airborne "Levinite" here!

Bush's VFW Sppech; Page 4, 3rd paragraph-WHAT is he talking about?

" The enemy who attacked us despises freedom, and harbors resentment at the slights he believes America and Western nations have inflicted on his people.

He fights to establish his rule over an entire region.

And over time, he turns to a strategy of suicide attacks destined to create so much carnage that the American people will tire of the violence and give up the fight.

If this story sounds familiar, it is -- except for one thing.

The enemy I have just described is not al Qaeda, and

the attack is not 9/11, and

the empire is not the radical caliphate envisioned by Osama bin Laden. Instead, what I've described is ....."

Instead...what I've deducted from this section of Bush's Speech is that he is Discribing ;

Today's Democrat Party!

----" They HATE Freedom, They Harbor Resentment of Those who are Conservative & Believe in this Nation running according to the U.S. Constitution, with LIMITED Gov't- instead of a Communist Manifesto that They would want to impose!

The Despise all others who hold a Conservative view or would serve in the Senate & Congress WITH Conservatives views,

They believe that AMERICA has instilled more harm to the World than Any Other murdering enemy ever has-and accuse Republicans of leading more evil against the American Citizen then any other Foreign Enemy has or ever could!

And: Over time, This Enemy: " The Modern Doemocrat party-would rather lead with actions of; leaking of National Security Secrets to our enemies and attacks against OUR Troops, and Surrender of Our Forces, gains and defenses which would be Suicide Attempts against our own National Interests & American lives!

And they Promote VIOLENCE thru their propaganda, Emotional Rheteric, and Back-alley funding of these extreme Anti-American Groups and their rallies like MovingOn & other Socialist & Anarchist Clubs! withh their strategies that they thinkthe AMERICAN PEOPLE will not only Believe their Lies but Get Tired of Hearing their constant promotion of stories that over-inflate what loses we have had-and chose to attempt to protray AMERICA & It;s Armed Forces as the Enemy of America INSTEAD of Al Qeada!

And- This "Enemy" -like Al Qeada, Promotes, Protects and allows FOREIGN SOURCES like ; the George Sorros & groups like him & United Nations front "peace" groups, the ACLU-to Support the Real Enemies against America , it's people and Future.

So I wonder IF Bush , in writing/giving this speech ,was aware of just how close he was discribing the Modern Democrat Party and their Manchurian-Candidate leaders like the ; Kennedys, Pelosi, Reid, Slimes, RINOS!, all of them!

I assume you are referring to A*s Wipe Kerry but you are in error about hi access to money. It is Trazzza's ill gotten gain from her dead republican husband who must be rolling over in his grave.

I agree with the rest of your statement though. It does fit J Friggig to a "T".

........Oh.....You ment Oday's dad, Sodamn Insane. Never mind.

I became convinced months ago that until America comes to grips with what the history and lessons of Viet Nam are we will never, as a nation, be able to successfully fight another conflict again. The ability of the MSM then, as now, to turn support for a conflict into apathy or non-support was a glimpse at our Achilles heel for any potential adversary. This administrations inablility and unwillingness to counter accusations ranging from the rediculous to treasonous will be it’s ultimate undoing. The 24 hour news cycle where bad news is trumpeted continuously appearing to make the same losses sustained earlier in the cycle to be perceived as additional losses renders realistic perspective difficult. So the nature of the news cycle in conjuction with what is being reported, legitimately or otherwise, tends to magnify the news. Mr. Kerry and his ilk totally ignore the fact that had they had a little more fortitude and patience we would have neutralized the NVA in a matter of months. But the Democratically controlled Congress, convinced by Kerry and his band, decided to defund the conflict, hand victory to the NVA, create thousands of refugees and a southeast asian holocaust by our leaving a power vacuum. Forty years later they’re at it again. When will Americans learn that wars are to be won, note abandoned when it gets difficult.

Kerry is really stuck on stupid.

Rubbing out Al Quaeda is in our interest. Now that both the sunni and shia have turned against Al Queda, what kind of gov that follows is up to the Iraqis.

Either way, Iraq will not have WMD. Mission accomplished.
