They only understand defeat........Cowards will always run rather than fight....They prey on the undeveloped minds of the young...convince them they should not fight. Scare them into thinking they will be drafted and killed....
Like in VietNam..it was the Drug induced Hippies that led the Antis...now they are grown and having flashbacks..they are reliving their miserable cowardly lives over again.
They only understand defeat and think of it as winning...Liberalism is a mental disorder
In VietNam. if the Liberals would have allowed us to fight like we wanted to win, we would have. Hard to win when you have your hands tied...just like they are doing in Iraq...Can't shoot unless you have permission. Free fire zones win wars.
Nixon gave in to the Liberals, who only win by losing

You are kidding, right?
If you read the history of the Vietnam mess, you will see that there was no near victory anywhere.
The French tried for 20 years and were kicked out on their butts and the U.S. tried from 1945 until we left and we couldn't do it either.
Our involvement in Vietnam was merely a chess match between ourselves and the USSR and China. North and South Vietnam was the chessboard and the people were the pawns.
There were millions of dead Vietnamese, almost 60,000 dead Americans and uncounted dead citizens of surrounding countries and territories before Congress finally pulled the war funding. There were no winners or about-to-be-winners in Vietnam and there are none in Iraq.
You cannot "win" a war when you can't identify the enemy. When we leave Iraq, it will take years and years of mass slaughter and civil war between the tribes and religious sects before someone with bigger guns, more supporters fight their way to power and become a new dictator. That is how Saddam came to power.
Bush has totally destroyed a soverign nation and it's people. Their infrastructure is ruined, their utilities are destroyed, their schools, homes, businesses, agricultural fields - all gone. Long held religious beliefs by the separate sects have lead to civil war and the killing of more innocents.
I am taking bets that when we leave, the Iranians will take over Iraq. It is what they have wanted since the Iran/Iraq war. Iran is bigger, has a well-organized and efficient military, more wealth and tougher leadership. Iran is not divided by religious sects - at least not to the extent that Iraq is.
Mr. Bush has done a fine job of ruining a country, hasn't he?

So, when we withdrew from Vietnam communism took over the world and the USA collapsed?
I must have missed that part of history.
What exactly did we not win in Vietnam?
BTW. I'm a Vietnam vet.

again, what branch are you serving with?
and how long is your deployment?
let go of your wee-wee and grow up .
we want out of iraq because you closet queers lied to us and said you were going after those that attacked us on 9/11
four years in Iraq and where are the ones responsible for 9/11?
your a jerk. and your brainless leader has you convinced that the war in iraq is the only issue. when is he going to do the job you elected him to do?
I hope another of you "chosen ones" buys the next election too, because It's not our mess. it's your's .

Because those old liberals have now become conservatives in their old age. The new ones aren't programmed with history.

You're a historically inaccurate idiot, there was never going to be a victory in Nam, My Uncle and Father In Law both fought there and I have it from them that the war was unwinnable the VC were willing to sustain casualties beyond anything you can imagine, what are you like 19, you got your history way wrong here little man

A lie and a false analogy gets you nowhere.
I don' t suppose you read much, do you?
Apples and oranges, sir. Apples and oranges.
But I can see how a shining lie has currency with revisionists who have axes to grind.

Pulled defeat out of the jaws of victory? What were you smoking during Vietnam?

are you saying vietnam was worth over 55,000 american dead - you can't be serious.
we never should have gone into vietnam and we never should have gone into iraq.
but read the brainless repetition of con talking points.

jaws of victory. You obviously weren't even alive then, so you have no idea.
