Comments on: In Vietnam, Bush Talks About Iraq

Says War's Lesson Is That It'll Take Time For Freedom To Trump Hatred

Like Vietnam, Like Iraq.... the politicans get us
involved in someone else's business, and end up blaming everyone but themselves because there is no way to "win". There is no winning in these type economies and sending our dollars and jobs to these places does no good. These folks will never stand behind the U.S.and only do what betters themselves, not us. Keep our money, jobs, and troops at home.

Anybody?

squiz2, You must be really stupid or just can't comprehend a very simplistic question. I asked Anybody out there that can show respect for our President?

[pudd54]

glad to see he made it to nam. 35 years ago he was in the Texas Gaurd not training AL instead of visiting there like he should have.

[squiz2]

Respect is something that is earned. I cannot think of anything he has done in the past six years to earn my respect.

Anybody out there that can show respect for our President?

[chipbennett]

Hey Yawl!

[tejasdemo]

The lesson, Mr. President moron, is that we shouldnt have even been there in the first *** place.

I repeat, what in the hell is wrong with this guy !

[tejasdemo]

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. What in the hell is wrong with this guy ?

[shingles1]

The lesson of the Vietnam War is that freedom takes time to trump hatred?

That's got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. It doesn't even make any sense.

All you critics of our President can just cool it. See, GWB did go to Vietnam. The fact that it's thirty-four years after the hostilities ended has nothing to do with it. He compared that war with the current conflict in Iraq. Did anyone tell him how Vietnam ended? Does this idiot realize that Iraq may make Vietnam look like a day at the beach? Men and women are being killed in the name of oil. Nice Christian attitude, huh. Stay tuned, I'm sure his foot isn't out of his rear yet; we have two more years!

[mdmorell]

If the lesson he gets from Vietnam is that it will take more time for victory in Iraq, then he's not learning ANYTHING from his visit. We had to leave there with our TAIL BETWEEN OUR LEGS. It looks the same in Iraq Mr. President.

[creeper00]

How deliciously ironic...GWB in Viet Nam defending his disastrous war in Iraq.

"We'll succeed unless we quit," he said. The progress you cited in Viet Nam has come precisely because we quit. It's difficult for any country to make progress while bombs are raining on it.

We have two more years of this man. May the Republic survive them.

I see DUMBYA finally made it to Viet Nam. I wonder if he flew over in his Texas Air National Guard plane. Does this officially change his AWOL status?

[grumpas]

I see nothing has changed with our illustrious dumb bunny! He keeps parioting the same old slop he has just repackaged to not sound like "staying the coarse"! But, if one is smart enough to read between the lines his policy hasn't changed a bit! We are like a bunch of nosy busybodies who have to take care of everyone's business in the neighborhood and neglect our own at home! Leaving it to go to hell in a handbasket!

[rharrin1]

See the conquering hero found his b*lls and went to vietnam nobody said when he had to go there.

bush is getting ready to retire he bought 9 and 1/2 thousand acres in paraguay to retire on.

( NO EXTRADITION THERE )

Beginning with Eisenhower (another Republican President) we were sent to fight an unwinnable war, just as in Iraq. True, we were treated like sh*t when we came back, but that's because the American public wasn't sophisticated enough to differentiate between the the formulators and the soldiers.

At least this time, the public understands that the troops aren't screwed up, Bubba Dubya is.

[diamtool]

Nobody wants to point out the irony of lil' georgie going off to vietnam 40 years late, while back at home, poppy and his men try to get him out of the latest war, like they got him out of Vietnam! if poppy had made him go to nam in the 60's maybe we wouldn't have an Iraq war.
No trade with Nam til we trade with Cuba-- only multinationals like walmart or halliburton will profit from trade with nam-- small American business would benefit from Cuban trade-- both countries are Communists. Only one is responsible for 50,000 American troops dying in a war.

[gramto7]

I agree. I graduated HS in that era, and remember how awful I felt about all the guys my age that were going to Vietnam and either not coming back or coming back to abuse. It isn't like they had a choice with the draft still in effect at that time.

Now we have Mr Happy-go-lucky, I'll-sit-on-a-bar-stool, AWOL-from-the-National-Guard Duhbya over there all friendly and wanting to shed even more of this country's job overseas. Just what we need when more companies are laying off workers daily.

Thanks a lot, Duhhbya! For Nothing!

[mjv2944]

Not a nickels worth of trade til all our MIA's are accounted for. We lost over 50,000 over there. We were treated like sh*t when we came home too. I will not buy anything that comes from there. Too many dark memories.
