What a dick head. He goes 6 whole years without ever once mentioning Vietnam, now he does?

[H2O Man]

1. He has no shame.

None.

[chelsea0011]

2. How does the VFW feel about an AWOL soldier speaking before them?

[spanone]

7. i never understood why they don't walk out on this asshole.

[Philosoraptor]

9. Deep respect for the office is all I can figger.

[Virginia Dare]

3. So we should have stayed in Viet Nam and lost *how* many more American lives?

what about your sorry chickenhawk ass chimp? That's right, you were too busy cruising bars. What about deadeye Dick's? That's right he was too busy keeping the wife knocked up. These fuckers are unbelievable. :banghead:

10. Only a member of the protected royal family could utter these disgusting words.

[Virginia Dare]

11. I'm sure Dick and chimp have plenty of hardy laughs over..

all of the stupid prols that keep fighting and dying in their war of greed. Oh well, what's one less dead freeloader. Dragon Lady Bush certainly doesn't bother her beautiful mind with it.

[treestar]

4. And he created the mess in the first place!

Following his logic, he can start a war anywhere, and keep it going forever, just because he created the situation by which it "has to" continue.

[BeyondGeography]

5. And just watch the old soldiers fall for it anyway

:shrug:

[Philosoraptor]

6. I wonder how many GOOD presidents might have died in Vietnam,

While bush was snorting Peru and guzzling Jack.

[HereSince1628]

8. Seems to me he is invoking Cambodia as much as Vietnam. n/t

[Virginia Dare]

12. It's all the same to him, they're all just yellow people..n/t

[guitar man]

15. Iraq, Iran

It's all the same to him....:grr:

[Bitwit1234]

13. Wonder if a brave news person will ask him

What did YOU do in the Viet Nam war Mr. B.

[Philosoraptor]

14. I seriously and sadly doubt it.

[Philosoraptor]

16. What arrogance! What tyranny! What the fuck?

[onethatcares]

17. didn't the commies follow us here though?

after we surrendered in Paris. Even now you can see the lingering effects of their occupation.

[spanone]

18. desperate men say desperate things.....trying to stir up the VFW crowd

23. He actually made a similar speech

a few months ago (after visiting Vietnam?). Keith Olbermann did a great special comment on it. Basically, Bush concluded the lesson of Vietnam is THAT WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER PULLED OUT.
Moron, idiot, c*cksucker.:evilfrown:

25. The only thing

IMO, that Bu$h mentioning Vietnam proves is that HE and his minions didn't learn a damned thing from that war, possibly because NONE of them participated. Now he is using that defeat to gin up more support for their own failure, disgusting and the Veterans believing that bullshit are even more so.

[Philosoraptor]

26. .................

[onethatcares]

27. what someone should do is

stand in front of those same veterans and tell them, "Remember those guys that died there, well they died for lies, just like your sons and daughters are dying for in Iraq. When you came home from the war, do you remember the medical benefits we gave you, the ones for agent orange, for ptsd, for drug addiction, well, your kids are gonna get the same."

That might wake em up a bit.
