Bush's Pathetic Record on Terrorism

[papasmerf]

You know it was the French who farked up Nam and then gave it to the US to clean up. How about you guys giving Iraq to the French - just an idea.

LBJ was an American tragedy. He really did much for the USA and could have been one of the greatest presidents ever, an even bigger presidential figure than FDR, if it wasn't for Viet Nam.

That misguided Nam War destroyed him completely and it was based on fighting the Commies.

Bush's present adventure is worse.......it's based on oil.

wait a minute
I thought it was to avenge his father?

Damn cant keep up with the reason of the day

..French did not " screw" anything up, they were a declining power who could no longer hold on to her Empire by force. The States tried to step in but the Will of the Vietnamese people was too strong to over come.
As for Iraq, I think most believe its about Oil, Right or Left. Few buy into this Democracy talk.

Sure the French blew it in Nam in 1954 and then handed it over to Ike who started sending in those 'military advisors' shortly afterwards.

But hey, don't knock the French. The French did do ONE GOOD THING, they farked up the British enough a couple hundred years ago so that the colonies could win their Revolutionary War with England.....and how about them French Babes, even those French-Canadian dolls....oui...oui.......

It was a dumb idea no matter what the reason, so what day it is doesn't really matter now does it?

Not when you consider both are just right wing concepts

Love and hate. The French are still trying to figure out
how they screwed it up when they were at the peak of their
power. The language of diplomacy used to be French.
Now it's English. It gauls them, pun intended.

What was the pun????

I miss everything

In case you are still wondering bbk.
The pun was, "It gauls them" refering to the late, Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970)
