Re: More of the Same Coming from Congress (4.00 / 3)

This reminds me so much of the "We MUST invade Iraq" bullshit, and now we sit and regret it, and the bastards who lied to us are at it again.

America, the STUPID!

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Re: More of the Same Coming from Congress (4.00 / 3)

I remember the "We must invade Viet Nam" bullshit.

Americans fall for the same old line, all the time.

Re: More of the Same Coming from Congress (none / 1)

The only TRUTH that I carry away from Viet Nam was that Lady Byrd (Bird?) Johnson owned a slew of Bell Helicopter stock in the mid '60s and LBJ got fabulously wealthy from Huey helicopters once the war cranked up.

What's your TRUTH?

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Not sure what "that one time" refers to. Viet Nam?
