Comments on: Vietnamese Scoff At Bush's Iraq Analogy

Interviews Reveal Disbelief In President's Likening U.S. Pullout From Vietnam To Withdrawal From Iraq

[tradamerica]

Bush''s comments were right on the mark. Only jaded metro-centric city folk would not understand.

In all of the criticism about the Viet Nam War no one mentions that the Communist Vietnamese ASKED the United States back after expending millions of peasants'' lives to get us out of Viet Nam.

American businessmen rushed over there hoping to hit the mother lode and instead ran into communist red-tape.

If American investors had stayed away, the bankrupt Communist leadership would have be doing more than apologizing for ruining Viet Nam''s economy, they''d be out of a job themselves.

And there''s the mother of all ironies: America''s navy makes calls at Viet Nam''s ports in the new joint U.S.-Viet Nam military cooperation.

--Come off it, Bush hasn''''''''t been right on 1 damm thing on Iraq & you know it.--

So you think that everything in battle can be pre ordained by the brains at headquarters? When the engagement starts, all plans are usually out the window. You city folks will find out soon enough. It ain''t "if" it''s "when." Of course you''ll blame it on patriots.

Had a bad argument in the pub last night about this topic. This big guy said that Bush was not fit to sleep with a Pig, I really took offence at this remark and told him quite firmly that of course he was. After a slap on the nose he picked me up and said that he loved his pigs.

President Bush was right to take the fight to the enemy rather than let them bring the battle to the shores of this nation again. There''s Al Qaeda in Iraq and terrorists are sneaking into Iraq instead of the U.S. Also, unlike President Johnson, Bush lets the generals run the day-to-day operations instead of picking targets like Johnson did.

One success of the Iraq war was Moammar Kadafi renounced terrorism and settled claims against Libya for attacks against American citizens. But that doesn''t count for anything with Bushwackers.

Interesting diatribes from you city folks; folks who will be the first to be initiated into sharia law; that is, if there is anything left of you after new york, jersey, etc... are hammered by the despots you you provide aid and comfort to with your irrational bush-hate hysteria. I''m no fan of political aristocracies, bush or clinton, but I know enough to realize that you city people are so screwed up you would rather see America defeated by fascists than put your partisan politics aside. I know I''m not convincing any of you to do the right thing; but it doesn''t matter, you''ll get what you deserve in the end.

WHAT!!!!!!!! Quote: "Doesn''t he realize that if the U.S. had stayed in Vietnam longer, they would have killed more people?" said Vu Huy Trieu of Hanoi, a veteran of THE COMMUNIST FORCES THAT FOUGHT AMERICAN TROOPS in Vietnam."

Yes Vu, and one of them we killed might have been you. How many Americans did you kill? Only CBS news would have quoted a COMMUNIST "Vietman Vet".

CBS...shame on you.

Are you also ''reminded'' that 9/11 happened WHILE BUSH WAS PRESIDENT and after he flatly ignored, disregarded dire warnings from his predecessor about such a potential? Are you also ''reminded'' that the sole basis for the Bush decision to invade Iraq (WMD) was patently false? Are you also ''reminded'' that prior to that invasion Iraq had no connection with Al Queda? Are you also ''reminded'' that even Bush openly admits Iraq and Hussein had absolutely nothing, whatsoever, to do with 9/11? Are you also ''reminded'' that the pointless invasion of a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 has squandered precious U.S. resources (100''s of billions of dollars and scarce military manpower) thereby seriously crippling THE REAL WAR AGAINST TERROR in Afghanistan?

The tunnel-vision "Selective Cognition" you suffer from is precisely the same affliction Bush suffers from. How ironic.

This is the kind of insanity that made Viet Nam such a huge and tragic waste of life and money. Nut-jobs like Bush believe that if you never leave, then you never have to admit that your policy is a total failure. Some kind of "victory" is always around the corner.

Bush''s comments are really out of line. If I had my way, I would simply not propose any new programs, let Congress take the lead on Iraq and just concentrate on making the Executive Branch work. He only has about 16 more months to go. Just hold the government together and do not get into more trouble.
