Another one who thinks that millions dead is just the price to pay so we can just pull out. Happened in Viet nNam and Cambodia, 2,500,000 dead and hundreds of thousands in camps.
And you want to repeat it here.
The party of compassion in both cases. Such compassion boggles the mind.
Whoa there fella, where'd you get that idiotic idea? I was against invading Iraq so if we hadn't invaded Iraq, many lives would not have been lost. Your hero Bush and his cronies are at fault. They are responsible for those deaths you speak of. They are responsible for the mess we are in, not me or others who were against this despicable war. And you have no credibility talking about compassion. Your party and your administration has no compassion at all.
yu use THAT lame idea as an excuse to continue the U.S.-provided gravy train to the do-nothing Iraqi "leadership"?
NO!!!!! the Iraqi's, after five-plus years need to get off of the U.S. tax-payer and U.S. soldier teat.
Endo, the war in Vietnam (with the bombing and excursions into Cambodia) helped destabilize the Cambodian Government so the Khymer Rouge could topple it. Nixon and his cohorts had no intention of going into Cambodia to topple the Khymer Rouge. It was the last thing on their mind. It was the Vietnamese regime that went into Cambodia in 1995 to stop the bloodbath. If the U.S. had gotten out sooner they might have been able to go in sooner too. Or, maybe the Khymer Rouge would never have come to power at all.
Try actually reading some history instead of parroting right wing talking points.
Um...if people like you hadn't supported Bush blindly, this war wouldn't have happened. So please don't blame people who are trying to end this stupid occupation. Blame the people who started it in the first place.
endo,
It was a mistake to wage war in Vietnam and so it is the same in Iraq.
Vietnam turned out bad for many reasons. The question for you is, do you think it'll be any better in Iraq seeing how screwed up we have made it there?
As I said before, the John Wayne days of WWII are on the silver screen not in real 21st century reality.
If you want to honor the troops when they come back, throw them a 5th Avenue Parade ticker tape and all. But forget a WWII type of victory euphoria. Many in this nation have no idea how Americans of that era suffered and sacrificed before, during, and after the war.
