2. Just heard that Chucklenuts, while in Viet Nam, said that the US had
learned lessons from the Viet Nam War - not to quit in Iraq like we did 30 years ago. Is this man insane? Did he just say to the leaders of Viet Nam, while standing on their soil, that the US should have stayed and killed more of their citizens? That's one way to win the hearts and minds of a country.

This man is certifiable - get him back to the White House padded room immediately before he has the entire world up in arms against us.

3. He said a bunch, which could be taken several ways as usual
"It's just going to take a long period of time for the ideology that is hopeful - and that is an ideology of freedom - to overcome an ideology of hate," Bush said after having lunch at his lakeside hotel with Australian Prime Minister John Howard, whose country has been one of America's strongest allies in Iraq, Vietnam and other conflicts.

Indeed it will take a while for the Iraqis to forgive the USA.

4. Jon said that he tried to get a deferment
and they also said that Poppy could not help him this time. One of the cablebots found Koppel's comments disgusting and said they now knew where Koppel's ideology rested. rofl
