Vietnam My Hairy Fat White Butt

Filed under "For God's Sake Just Let It Go People!"

In the Christian Science Monitor Daniel Schorr manages to step on his crank with the ole' golf shoes on. It's gotta hurt!

I was familiar with the name but couldn't quite place it so I looked him up online. You could have knocked me over with a feather when it was revealed he was a Vietnam era reporter.

No! I don't believe it. No bias here, senor wences.

Worried about flagging support for the war? The president tells his aides in a secret memo, "Publicly we say one thing; actually, we do another."

That was not President Bush' on Iraq' , but President Nixon on Vietnam and Cambodia. It is only one line in some 50,000 pages of newly declassified Nixon-era documents from the National Archive. It is not surprising, but still a little unsettling, to learn how often a president will dissemble with the people.

STRAWMAN ALERT!! STRAWMAN ALERT!!! Let's review Mr. Schorr, when exactly did our current President lie? I'm sorry I couldn't hear you. Could you please remove all the bias from your gaping cakehole, thank you.

The revelation of the abuse of detainees in the Abu Ghraib' prison near Baghdad was bad news for the Bush administration, as was the 1968 massacre of more than 350 South Vietnamese civilians in the village of My Lai. My Lai was treated by the Nixon White House as a public relations problem more than a moral problem. Defense Secretary Melvin Laird warned Nixon that My Lai could prove "acutely embarrassing" to the United States and could affect the Paris peace talks with North Vietnam. Mr. Laird added that My Lai, "will provide grist for the mills of antiwar activists," which could be ruinous to the image of the US. Nixon said that an image could be changed by astute public relations, and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger weighed in with the observation that the trial of Lt. William Calley, implicated in the My Lai massacre, would alleviate press concerns about a cover-up.

FALSE COMPARISON ALERT!!! FALSE COMPARISON ALERT!!! Hmmm...., let's see. Are there any differences here. please allow me to don my trusty Sherlock Holmes cap and do a little detecting here. My Lai was, I believe, covered up. Abu Ghraib was already under investigation when the jackals in the press got thier claws on it.
The only valid comprison here Mr. Schorr (wanker) is that both Presidents are Republicans. I realize your sorry ass predates the internet, but for god's sake, at least put some effort into your bald faced bullshit. We will fact check your ass.

Some of the Nixon Oval Office discussions about the future of Vietnam read eerily like memos on Iraq. In May 1969, a Nixon White House document said the US wanted to establish in Vietnam, "procedures for political choice that give each significant group a real opportunity to participate in the political life of a nation."
Sound like a discussion about nation-building in Iraq? To bring this up to date, former Secretary Laird has an article in the current issue of Foreign Affairs magazine. Its title: "Iraq: Learning the Lessons of Vietnam." Arguing for "de-Americanizing" the Iraq war, Laird says that our military presence is what feeds the insurgency. Laird says that he was the one who invented the term "Vietnamization." Maybe the word for what we face in Iraq today should be "Iraqization."

And had jackals such as the Democrat Party and its attendants in the press allowed us to win in Vietnam perhaps we could have pursued that policy. As opposed to say, oh, I don't know, running away with our tail between our legs like ole' commie lovin Dan would like.

What really gets my goat here is a cheese eatin' surrender monkey like this joker Schorr having the audacity to question things he clearly doesn't understand. A veteran of the hate America corp. he would like nothing better than to see us humiliated in Iraq.

Allow me to define "Vietnamization" for those of you who may not have enjoyed a refreshing caffienated beverage yet today. "Vietnamization" is what happens when a weak American Democrat president (Kennedy) dithers and vacillates for years before engaging. Is then followed by an idiot grandstanding Democrat President (LBJ) who through a thorough program of micromanaging and incomprehensibly bad decisions extends the war far past any normal expectations.

This is followed by a Republican President who shows a little spine and bombs last nights dinner out of our little friends bringing them to the negotiating table. How did our "loyal opposition" respond to this good news? They almost immediately removed funding for our allies allowing them to be butchered like cattle in thier millions.

"Vietnamization" is a prime lesson in what happens when Democrats and journalists are allowed too near the adult rides.

Let this be a warning to you kiddies, if you want to see a bloodbath in Iraq. Put a Democrat in charge, it's just what they do.
