Every Day That We Have To Keep Troops In Iraq Is
another day that we're losing this war. We've forgotten the lesson of Vietnam. Vietnam fell because the government of South Vitenam was corrupt to the core and it could not build an army to protect itself from the North Vietnamese. We were in Vitenam for about 20 years or so from advising their military to actually engaging in battles that we won. In the end we could not win a cause that the people were not willing to fight for.

3. Lost cause in Cuba....
Cubans not willing to fight Castro...it's over 40 years already. Cubans, like Iraq's Chalabi, want American boy's blood to get rid of Castro for them. There's no oil in Cuba so fok the cubans.
