It's so obvious you speak from an educated background in macro economics.

My point all along? What you've been saying is wrong.

Well it worked didn't it?

That's why it was the END of the War.

A clear illustration of Cause and Effect.

Pretty Simple.

i'm gonna go out on a limb here and, well, toss an idea onto the table - could it be you've been reading so much al-jazeera propaganda that you've taken it to heart as fact?

do you really believe al-jazaeera "news" has it all figured out?

this isn't the middle east, robster. we're not so easily whipped into a screaming frenzy over the words of an ideologically-driven manipulation tool. enjoy it, though. i can't say i haven't pulled a supermarket tabloid off the rack from time-to-time and browsed the stories for the "news" they report - and they're about on par in terms of reliability. after all, there are still plenty of people who believe in bigfoot.

you take to heart whatever will fit your bill best, rob. that's not up to me.

ariana huffington is on par with ann coulter in terms of bias, so no - faux news doesn't do it for me either.

you've made your position pretty clear - the u.s. frosts your nuts and you applaud the middle east, or more likely, any country aside from the u.s. maybe it's just a bush thing - doesn't matter to me one way or another.

there are several members here who operate from a position of extremism, be it left or right. whatever your stance, your contributions are a bit difficult to follow because of the way you put together your posts. herky-jerky and whatnot.

anyway, i'm off to the gym for a bit. catch ya'all later.

the whole point of an orgy is that everyone's invited... well, except rob.

you don't need an invite anyway, wolfie. no matter what - you're in.

This is for all the kids born in the 70's who do

burden that our fathers, mothers and older
brothers and sisters had to bear.

Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the
"100 Women of the Century."
BY BARBRA WALTERS

Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still
countless others have never known how Ms.
Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country,
but specific men who served and sacrificed
during Vietnam.


The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot

The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat.

In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF
Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison
the "Hanoi Hilton."


Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell,
cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was
ordered to describe for a visiting American
"Peace Activist" the "lenient and humane
treatment" he'd received.


He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was
dragged away.
During the subsequent beating, he fell forward
on to the camp Commandant's feet, which
sent that officer berserk.


In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from
double vision (which permanently ended his
flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied
application of a wooden baton.


From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the
47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the
"Hanoi Hilton",,, the first three of which his
family only knew he was "missing in action".
His wife lived on faith that he was still alive.
His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and
clothed routine in preparation for a
"peace delegation" visit.
They, however, had time and devised a plan to
get word to the world that they were alive
and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny
piece of paper, with his Social Security Number
on it, in the palm of his hand.


When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a
cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each
man's hand and asking little encouraging
snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed
babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane
treatment from your benevolent captors?"
Believing this HAD to be an act, they each
palmed her their sliver of paper.
She took them all without missing a beat. At the
end of the line and once the camera stopped
rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs,
she turned to the officer in charge and handed
him all the little pieces of paper.


Three men died from the subsequent beatings.
Colonel Carrigan was almost number four
but he survived, which is the only reason we
know of her actions that day.


"I was a civilian economic development advisor
in Vietnam, and was captured by the North
Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in
1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years.
I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one
year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year
in a "black box" in Hanoi.
My North Vietnamese captors deliberately
poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a
nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South
Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the
Cambodian border.
At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs.
(My normal weight is 170 lbs.)
We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals."
When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by
the camp communist political officer if I would
be willing to meet with her.
I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real
treatment we POWs received... and how
different it was from the treatment purported by
the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as
"humane and lenient."
Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky
floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched
with a large steel weights placed on my hands,
and beaten with a bamboo cane.
I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda
soon after I was released. I asked her
if she would be willing to debate me on TV.
She never did answer me."


These first-hand experiences do not exemplify
someone who should be honored as part
of "100 Years of Great Women."
Lest we forget..." 100 Years of Great Women"
should never include a traitor whose hands are
covered with the blood of so many patriots.

So why would someone of sound mind pick Jane Fonda, American Traitor Bitch, as one of the top 100 greatest women? This discusts me and every veteran whom I have spoken to about this.
Having travelled quite a bit with Jane and haivng done some research on this, what I see is that she actually said that the administration at that time, republican/Nixon, was trying to exagerate and sensationalize the leval of abuse in an effort to keep the American public angry and willing to be involved in a war that EVERYONE knows we had no business being in. If this sounds like another war that we are invloved in the cha ching, you win the prize! When will we STOP killing our young men and women to make a few fat men whose children DON'T go to war rich!!! Has it occured to anyone to ask why only one person in congress actually has a son or daughter who is in Iraq? How many congress men and women are there? Hundreds I am guessing and yet as much as they ALL voted for it, they have not really supported the war and yet these are the people who we have chosen as the best and the brightest to run our country!! If they don't think their own should go, then why should anyone else? Am I making sense here? I pray that I am! I support Christians and Republicans for Peace!! I am contemplating startijng a group and calling it "Republicans for Peace". What do you guys think?

No. It's not their decision to make. It's their sons' and daughters'. I'd be more pissed with a Congressman who MADE their own son or daughter serve in Iraq against their will.

But getting back to it; the irony of these kind of point-outs? Most people IN Congress served in or durring the Vietnam era. Many of them know war. A war that was just as worse, if not even more devistating, than Iraq. So that Michael Moore arguement is bullshit.

Actually before you start saying 'most' you really should check your sources...

AWOLBush.com. Ah hahaha. Maybe, Sternn, you should look into more creditable sources. Just running down the list, I don't see Ralph Regula, served in the US Navy, or Paul Gillmore, served in the US Air Force, or Wayne Struble, served in the Air National Guard, or Mick Krieger, served in the US Navy... I mean, I don't see these people on your comprehensive list ANYWHERE. Not one. And that's just one state of Congressmen that are currently serving that they entirely wrote off.

I'd extend to you your own advice; check into your OWN sources before you post them. Additional advice: find more creditable sources than "awolbush.com." The Michael Moore stuff is cute, but it doesn't fly in real debates.

Oh, now you've got a real URL. Now we're cooking. But uh, FYI, the 109th Congress is what's currently serving. Not the 108th. I'm sure you knew that, but just in case you didn't... well, try finding up-to-date figures if you will please.
