from the ap bush said:
"HANOI, Vietnam - President Bush said Friday the United States' unsuccessful war in Vietnam three decades ago offered lessons for the American-led struggle in Iraq. "We'll succeed unless we quit," Bush said shortly after arriving in this one-time war capital."
now at least five things moronic about this:
1. vietnam was not ours to lose - it was a sovereign country.
2. we did not lose the war because we left too soon - we stayed there for at least 15 f***ing years.
3. we did not lose because of lack of effort - we dropped a greater tonnage of bombs on vietnam than all parties dropped in wwII and at times we had over a million troops in that theater.
4. we did not lose because we did not kill enough people - we killed at least a million vietnamese in our sojourn there and we are still killing them.
5. we lost because it was unwinnable - these pig f**ing morons, including kissinger, still cannot get over the fact that war is generally a piss poor idea and sometimes one cannot win. ask the chinese - they have not beaten the vietnamese in 2000 years.
and to top it off for this scum sucking, war dodging coward to offer any opinion on this subject in vietnam, in front of the people that he and his cohorts tortured for those many years is unforgivable. add to that the fact that the chickenshit never went when he had the chance.
unbelievable.
