"Washington constantly harassed the British and decimated their ranks thus destroying their morale.
This is the same tactic the terrorists are using in Iraq. They''''re not attacking our troops'''' positions outright but instead they''''re decimating them by using snipers and IEDs in order to destroy the morale of the American public." --Posted by KyRockBkGold

Sounds like a winning strategy, doesn''t it!

It appears that by your definition, nobody ever wins unless they exterminated every person in the "enemy''s" population. Wars are one when one side decides the price is too high. No modern war has resulted in the death of more than a few percent of any combatant''s population. The one possible exception is the Russians'' population loss in WW2, and they won, kicking the Nazis'' *****.

"The most glaring, the person claiming we should have stayed longer in the fight is the one known for doing everything he could to dodge that fight and then ******** on the NG anyway. LMAO!!

- That is the hypocrisy in all of this. Our current leadership has turned "Follow me" into "Do as I say, not as I do."

General George Washington probably never won a decisive battle until the last one when he cornered the British who couldn''t leave because the French had blockaded their ships and cut off their line of retreat.

Washington constantly harassed the British and decimated their ranks thus destroying their morale.

This is the same tactic the terrorists are using in Iraq. They''re not attacking our troops'' positions outright but instead they''re decimating them by using snipers and IEDs in order to destroy the morale of the American public.

"Nobody regrets that the Vietnam War wasn''t prolonged except Bush."

"Bush sent troops to invade Iraq and created all the problems there," Thang said.

The price we, the Vietnamese people on both sides, paid during the war was due to the fact that the Americans went into Vietnam in the first place," Ninh said.

Mr. Bush''s comments drew criticism from politicians and historians who claimed he did not understand the lessons of the Vietnam War or was using the wrong historical lessons to sell our military''s continued presence in Iraq.

"It''s divisive. It''s not going to sell. You are not going to be able to sell the lessons of Vietnam as, ''We should have stayed a decade longer.''"

Oops!!!!!!! Guess Bush and his speech writers never saw any of this coming. lmao

The most glaring, the person claiming we should have stayed longer in the fight is the one known for doing everything he could to dodge that fight and then ******** on the NG anyway. LMAO!!

"You city folks will find out soon enough. It ain''''t "if" it''''s "when." Of course you''''ll blame it on patriots."

OOH, "city folk" is it, pig-licker?

"Patriots", my ***, dupes and fascists is where you''re at. Real patriots support the Constitution, not gut it like Bushit and his little band of Bushshytes.

This was a war that never had to be fought. This was a war built on hubris, sheer hubris. The stupid assumption that all one needs is technology to win any battle. Now, we are stuck, not wanting to lose face. But, we all know, the war has been lost. There is nothing to win. We have taken a secular country and given it to the friends of Iran.

You''ve given the presidency to a chimp and he has created a circus.

I refuse to lower myself to your level. Call me all the names you have in your pitiful arsenal. What I see is someone who hasn''t a logical reason to put forth.

The Communist Vietnamese never left the field of battle and they finally won after breaking a peace treaty. So your point is full of holes.

Ho Chi Minh said he didn''t care if it took the lives of a million Vietnamese peasants to win the Viet Nam war.

The terrorists in Iraq know that all they have to do to win this war is to outlast the U.S. and they''ll win by default. That''s the ultimate lesson of the Viet Nam War.

KyRockBkGold,

Anyone can be a terrorist, nitwit.

Would you not agree that the klan or other gangs are also terrorist organizations?

Being a terrorist is not specific to one group. Being a terrorist only means one who terrorizes others.

[kyrockbkgold]

Cyberbare1 --

Terrorists move about throughout the nations of Europe, the Middle East, and even the U.S. but you believe none of them were ever in Iraq? Now, who is naive?

[whatithink-2009]

KyRockBkGold,

I suggest that if you watch Faux News then you''d be better off balancing your brain with something like Al Jazeera. The point is not what you watch but only watching one source like the bible as you will begin to suffer from bias. And, it doesn''t matter what type of bias it is, right wing bias is just as bad as left wing bias.

You are being brainwashed!!

You have been warned!!

George Bush and *** Cheney have never had experience at war. Neither served, Neither knows sacrifice or military honor.
Cheney got 5 deferrments from Vietnam because his doctor wrote a report that he had an abcess on his Anal *** which exempted him from duty.

Bush and his cronies have made mistake, after mistake with no concern of consequences to the American people or Iraqis.
He is proud that he "brought the fight to Iraq".... nice.. make the Iraqi people''s homeland a permanent battlefield of death.
Sweet! what a moral man.

He IS the worst Politician/Armchair quarterback/Washington DC bureauocrat there is.
He Fired General after General that disagreed with his policies of failure, until 4 yrs had passed and now he put 1 general in charge to lead a limited, hamstrung fight to clear a way for imaginary Iraqi politicians to lead. whatever.
Bring em home please.

And I guess you recommend Al Jazeera?

In fact, I read several news sources, even the ones recommended by Bushwackers.

Oh, by the way, when you are so low in ammunition that you must employ personal attacks during a debate, do you really think that you''ve convinced anyone about your position.

[whatithink-2009]

KyRockBkGold,

There you go, idiot. Of course I was typing quickly and if you can''t figure out that like means liking, then you are the idiot.

Figures. Idiot.

"...someone not like George Bush into not like the U.S. These are not the same thing...unless you are an idiot."
-- whatithink

And you have the nerve to call someone an idiot. Run this sentence through a grammar checker and get back with this "idiot" once you have a statement that is understandable.

[whatithink-2009]

KyRockBkGold,

Your favorite source of news is Fox, right?

Very predictable, the brainwashed minions.

[whatithink-2009]

"Bush''''s comments were right on the mark.
Posted by tradamerica"

- Yes, if the mark is a stupid mark, you are correct.

[kyrockbkgold]

How long has the so-called war against drugs been going on? I''ve lost track. No one is calling for a surrender in this battle for America.

What I find interesting is when American intelligence issues a report that criticizes President Bush''s effort in Iraq then the Bushwackers are all for believing their report after slamming our intelligence agencies as liars for four years.

[whatithink-2009]

KyRockBkGold,

Where do you get your information from? The internet? Very trustworthy sources.

Additionally, you have a funny way of turning someone not like George Bush into not like the U.S. These are not the same thing...unless you are an idiot.

[kyrockbkgold]

Iraq had no ties to terrorists? What do you call Saddam Hussein''s PR tactic of giving money to the families of martyrs who blew themselves up along with innocent civilians.

Just Google the remarks Saddam said about the U.S. and you''ll learn something.
