9. iraq is Vietnam-in-a-microwave...notice how the audience BOO-ed

o'neill and cheered for Kerry....why today, do young people just SIT THERE looking like they support iraq-killing, silent, no cheers or boos...silence is complicit....

also, o'neill sounded like today's freepers, and in a historical context...o'neill was wrong on all points about Vietnam, the Vietnamization program, and OUR exit from Vietnam....mai lai massacre (pronounced: My LIE).....war crimes, cover-up by colin powell, second in commmand of the Ameri-cal division....fragging, suicides, Veterans going postal, Veterans disabled by war chemicals like agent orange and more....

Kerry was right on....Kerry predicted exactly what would happen...and Kerry will guide us out of Iraq, because he can see the image of Vietnam and KNOWS what's going on.....the Military is doing the exact same thing...pouring tons of weapons into Iraq, make Iraq police in charge, who are turning on OUR troops with American weapons in hand and sometimes with their police uniforms on....

Our troops left Vietnam with their tails between their legs....humiliated...scrambling off the U.S. Embassy roof in helicopters at the end, with people shooting, dying, hanging onto to the overloaded helicopter for their lives....defeated by a third-world country that had no air force or navy....America was humiliated....Kerry STOOD UP for the Veterans....

we'll probably leave Iraq the same way, unless bush* is sent back to Crawford in November....
