"We could have won the war...."

[Bigmack]

Imagine... for the rest of our lives, we'll hear endless bitching from the 30% who now support this war. They'll be saying how we should have "stayed the course" and "trusted the president" and all the other bullshit.

They'll blame the media, the liberals, the hippies, and god knows who else, instead of admitting the whole operation was flawed and morally bankrupt.

Just like the Vietnam war, we'll have to listen to that bullshit revisionism.

1. Oh yeah.

I've been hearing it since Vietnam. I think that what applied to Vietnam now applies to Iraq; the similarities are that strong.

[randome]

2. Just tell them...

"That's 2 wars you've lost."

That should be the Democratic party's meme.

3. You bet, this is the phrase that will resonate with the middle, IMO.

re:puke:s are always on the wrong side, that's why they lose.

4. germany was stabbed in the back, in ww1....

5. When They Say That, Just Say "Yeah, But Your Dumbass Voted * In For A

second term, ruining any chance we had of turning that war around. Such a shame for the Iraqi people you didn't vote more wisely"

Well, that's what I'd say to them. Either that, or "Shut the fuck up you braindead freeper"

6. If this cabal after planning this war

for the best part of 15 years now and a trillion $$$ later along with a Pentagon that couldn't wait to try out all the newest and boomiest toys along with a compliant media that basically marginalized and removed any stumbling blocks from their march to war(like anti war protesters and the opinion of most of the rest of the world) still find themselves flummoxed as to how to win a war of choice, no less, then the option of starting wars should be removed from them for all time. As well as themselves from their positions for ineptitude on a cosmic scale. After that, then we can start the criminal proceedings.

7. then, in Thirty years, we'll have to endure and even more regressive

fascist regime intent on recapitulating the failure of Murkan fascism.

That is, unless we eliminate them from civilization before they can infect a new generation.




(oh, and BTW, they'd say "..could OF (sic) won the war...")

8. Don't forget the now young 20ish neo-con chickenhawk that will be

running for president in 30 years.

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. Is this more of the being able to "see into the future" crap from the

party of WARmongers? I don't trust them or Pinhead**, not now and not ever.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

10. We did win the war! It's just that nobody has told the "insurgents".

It's just a failure to communicate. Just like in Vietnam, nobody told the VC and NVA that our bodycounts proved that they were all dead.

Geesh! You should pay attention to the geniuses in the White House and Pentagon who know these things.
