My brother was in the one of the first waves that went to Vietnam in 1964. Thank god he came back, not the same but he did come back. GWB is an idiot and so are the people who voted for him. We should not be in Iraq, and we shouldn’t have been in Vietnam. And everyone of the VFW that were at his speech should have gotten up, turned their backs and left. The real problem is us the citizens of the USA no matter how we bitch to our reps in Washington they just either don’t hear us or don’t care. Bush is not a leader he is someone who thinks he talks to GOD. Someone should tell him to read his bible because GOD would ignore his two faced, double sided bullshit. All he wants to do is blame other people in his admin, congress and senate because he doesn’t have the stones to take the rightful blame and responsibility to accept that he is the one who is sending other peoples sons, daughters, wives and husbands to what could possibly be their death. and what does he try to do stop our govt from increasing their less than poverty level pay saying its not necessary. while the families of these unselfish, loyal, strong and brave individuals fight for not only our freedom but his and his families as well. our service men and women’s families can lose their homes but hey GWB has his, they struggle to make ends meet, but he’s never had to worry how the electric, gas, water, food etc. was going to be paid. Just like Vietnam if our President had just let our Marines and other Services do what should have been done in the beginning the insurgents, taliban etc wouldn’t be a problem. Bring our people home, and let Iraq’s people deal with their country, their problems their own people leave us out of it. Put all the energy back where it belongs here in OUR COUNTRY, helping OUR PEOPLE. Stop sending billions for $$$ overseas where it can’t be found what happened to it. Rebuild New Orleans,put more in schooling our children, health care for the poor and working poor. all the things that this country stands for instead of giving away our money, jobs etc to everyone else. Lets take care of us first. I just again thank god my brother came back for Vietnam, my husband from Operation Desert Storm and my nephew from Afganastan. Semper Fi all my family and husband were Marines.

You say it was Bush alone who decided to go to Iraq. I submit that it was not his decision. The US has been raping the third world for decades. Bush is a pawn in the international bankers’ plot to conglomerate all governments into one world government under their control. Look up the NAU, CFR, and the Trilateral Commission. Ron Paul is our best hope at overcoming these megalomaniacal bastards.

drastic times do call for drastic measures..
if the “powers that be” are jailed and sentenced to death, possibly the “real” world would come together and unite as one..
there can be love and peace if we start on the right path before it gets too late to do that..
is it too late for us all people ???

“Those who ignore the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it.”
The shrub probably never cracked a history book while in school so how would he know? Too drunk, too stoned and to busy chasing west Texas bimbos
and yet he has the gall to lecture us about ‘Nam. What a pice of rotting vomnit this miserable piece of shit is. As I live and breath, I have so much contempt for that stomach spew and the rest of the treasonous, perverted bush family.
What a joke, except the joke is on us and we are going to pay for it, not the elites who run the country and certainly not GWB.
The entire Whore House should be rounded up and hung in the Rose Garden! They are the real traitors to America!
God how I hate this administration, and anybody who still supports the bushevics need an education on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
My only hope is that Chaney will have a massive stroke and live out the rest of his wretched existance drooling over himself and gee dubya will end up isolated in his Columbian compound, afraid to go out for fear of getting his just reward.
Goddamn these bastards who have turned America into a police state!

After all that is said and done how come this president is still up and running?
Will he and his henchmen ever be punished for their crimes committed like was Saddam Hussein? Talk is cheap.

Just got back from Vietnam after three months of travelling around the country, it looks like the Vietnamese are doing a pretty good job of running their own country without the French,Japanese, Americans or Australians telling they what to do. They are developing some big off shore oil fields “White Tiger Oil Field” and will soon be exporting oil. The strange thing is the big international oil companies (French,U.S.British) told Vietnam that there were no large deposits of oil there, the Russians came in and found heaps of oil.
Wouldn’t G.W. Bush like to get his dirty hands on this oil, he may tell us that Osama is hiding on a P.T. boat in The Gulf of Tonkin and he may have to invade?
Seriously though isn’t funny how people like Bush are only too happy to send other people sons & daughters to war “to protect democracy”, why doesn’t he get his daughters to become nurses in the U.S. Army and do a bit of time in Iraq?

I had to spend two years in ROTC to become an officer. Forunate son-of-a was given his butter bars (commision) on a gold platter after an undistinguished few weeks of basic traiing for airmen straight out of high school.

2.8 million of us Vietnam Veterans served in combat in that nightmare of a war, you know the very same one that the ‘chicken hawk in chief’ now spouts his ‘pious’ bullshit about. The VFW fatcats applauding his latest lies need to check the history books that Georgie so unintelligently tried to quote (actually he just made up some more bullshit-or whoever did write ‘his’ imbecillic speech. Failed regime after failed regime was propped up by us real Vietnam Vterans in Vietnam, year after year, until finally the American public and world opinion forced Tricky Dick and his henchman Henry Kissinger to come up with the withdrawal plans to get all of our troops eventually the hell out of there.The ‘killing fields’that GWB made mere mention of were directly caused by insane U.S policy that allowed the Pol Pot and then the K.Rouge psychos to come to power Just look at Bush’s failed Iraq war with an incompetent at best Maliki government and the Iraqi parliment ‘on vacation’ while our U.S.troops continue to needlessly die for all the comparissons necessary between Johnson and Nixon Vietnam and Bush Iraq. Go to the Wall Georgie, and just maybe some cold hard reality will actually sink in to that very thick skull of yours.Semper Fi! Marchmarine17@optonline.net

The author’s comments are to be applauded. There is much speculation about Dubya’s dubious days in the Texas Air National Guard not to mention his continuation/non-continuation of service in Alabama. (Wait: He did have some dental work done. Cue “The Stars and Stripes Forever”). We must not forget, however, that it was Bush’s own words that most clearly expose him for the draft dodger he was. “I was not prepared to shoot my eardrum out with a shotgun in order to get a deferment. Nor was I willing to go to Canada. So I chose to better myself by learning how to fly airplanes.” The quote is for real; As Yogi said, “You can look it up.”

I noticed there is still a smattering of Bush apologists among the entries. Some advice for them. George Orwell’s 1984 is often referred to, and rightfully so, when commenting on Bush and his Administration. But Orwell’s ANIMAL FARM shouldn’t be forgotten. In it, the sheep can be depended upon to bleat, “Four legs good, two legs bad” regardless of the circumstances. Bush apologists everywhere: That’s what you are, the sheep from ANIMAL FARM. Do everyone a favor and grow a brain! You’re redefining boredom.
