Galoob’s right on target. I’ve been against Bush’s IRAQ insane war since I saw Dubya had surrounded himself with the SAME foolish, vain & clueless arrogant IDIOTS who “managed” the VIETNAM War so “brilliantly”… like DONALD RUMSFELD!
MY only comment over Memorial Day weekend to a VETERAN was to THANK him, when I saw him at a local store, for his service to our Country, to wish him & his family the BEST of Luck! He said he didn’t think he would be serving another Tour of Duty in Iraq anytime soon.
I help collect PAPERBACK BOOKS to send in the CARE Packages the father of a MARINE serving in IRAQ, has been sending for TWO YEARS!
I FOLLOW “religiously” on C-Span & other sources of UNFILTERED coverage of the Iraq War, ever since the Iraq War started, emailing my Congressmen about the desperate need for BETTER ARMORED VEHICLES, BODY ARMOR, etc.; & watch the Investigative HEARINGS, such as the ones which have uncovered truly MASSIVE & obscene levels of WAR PROFITEERING & BILLIONS missing which nobody seems to be able to ACCOUNT for, where the MONEY WENT, that was meant to IRAQ!
I was against the VIETNAM WAR, as MOST were back then, only around 1968 on, when NIXON was elected promising to END the WAR & bring the Vietnam Soldiers HOME — which we ALL knew our Gov’t. would sooner or later do, anyway!
NIXON & War Criminals like KISSINGER kept the Vietnam Quagmire going until at least 20,000 MORE American soldiers were cut down, while knowing full well they planned to PULL the PLUG, just once they had TIME from playing GOLF, like Pres. Bush, to “get around to it”!
20,000 MORE Mothers & Fathers, Pregnant WIVES, Children, Babies, Friends, Fellow Warriors, saw their LOVED ONES sacrificed unnecessarily just so NIXON & his cronies could try to “Save Face”, so the “Military Industrial Complex” which Gen. EISENHOWER warned about, could SQUEEZE a few BILLIONS more WAR PROFITS out of the Vietnam “adventure”!
Well, George Dubya BUSH is following that old VIETNAM “playbook”, & by God, it will all be WORTH it, ALL the Sacrifices by Soldiers, Marines, Navy Men & Women serving, suffering, being wounded & many dying in yet another “BIG LIE” War in another hellish foreign land.
Because HALLIBURTON is rollin’ in the dough again, & DICK Cheney’s old buddies have MOVED Halliburton’s Corporate HEADQUARTERS to an OFFSHORE Tax Haven, of all places, now based in DUBAI, United Arab Emerit– if THAT ain’t a BETRAYAL & TREASON, tell me what IS!
To me, you ain’t an AMERICAN Company even, anymore– if your corporate offices are in the MIDDLE EAST, in an ARAB country!
Bush’s Corporate buddies might as well MOVE ALL their Headquarters to COMMUNIST RED CHINA, because after all, Bush & his Regime, & all the supposedly “PATRIOTIC” Republican-owned Companies, have been busily APPEASING the CHINESE COMMUNISTS, ever since Bush was elected President!
Tell me again exactly WHY half a million young American LIVES had to be left in the Muddy Rice Paddies of COMMUNIST VIETNAM?
Wasn’t it to FIGHT & stop the “spread of Communism”?
Well, VIETNAM is still COMMUNIST, so is RED CHINA, & all you BUSH loyalists must believe it is OKEY DOKEY to “DO BUSINESS” with them, NOW! What exactly CHANGED? They are STILL COMMUNIST Nations, & Pres. Bush is actually going to attend the BEIJING OLYMPICS opening ceremonies & HONOR China’s “Police State” Leaders?
Truth is, both BUSH & John McCain will continue his policy of total APPEASEMENT to please the Communist Chinese government & people, if McCain were to be elected President, & CHINA will continue to Modernize & build up its MILITARY using AMERICAN dollars, American high tech, & one day, my Grandchildren will be faced with YET ANOTHER UNNECESSARY WAR, this time with CHINA, because REPUBLICANS talk a good game about PATRIOTISM, but will Always, always put their SHORT-TERM Business Profits, AHEAD of PATRIOTISM!
And, progressives & independents & YES, even “lefties”, will follow behind you, to sweep up the MESSES you leave behind, to repair the wreckage & damage wrought by “COWBOY” so-called Foreign Policies!
The only Americans those of us I knew in the Anti-WAR movement during Vietnam & now, that we find contemptible & despicable are all the CHICKEN HAWKS who sit in their comfy RECLINERS & agitate to send OTHER PEOPLE’s CHILDREN off to fight!
I would BET too, that anybody on the D.C. trains spitting on or calling Military men or women in Uniform names, are the EXACT SAME THUGGISH GOONS, that the BUSH campaign sent down to FLORIDA in 2000 to harrass & intimidate the citizens doing the RECOUNT! Sent on the ENRON Corporate Jet, like good little Jackbooted Young Republican Gang Members!
COLIN POWELL even expressed concern & disgust over this “Private Army” of THUGS which Bush had!
So, you can try to RE-WRITE HISTORY, but we all remember what really happened, & we will NEVER FORGET!
Maybe we can prevent the NEXT “unnessary War”, if we can LEARN from this one.
