Nixon ended it because he was thrown out of office for the watergate break-in, you know that lil scandal wherein he tried to get the democrat's playbook against him. OK, he wasn't thrown out. He retired in disgrace, because he would have been impeached. It had nothing to do with his "ending" the war. As for LBJ, just because he was a democrat does not mean squat. I was against that war from the outset, regardless about who lied to whom to

COL, if we had said something like, "Drop dead, MM", our in-house hall monitor, drmiler, would have appealed to the moderators to have us banned from the forums. The fact that he couches that in a stupid appeal for retroactive abortions makes it OK to the hall monitor, and the TOS, I suppose. Do, I won't tell MM to drop dead if you don't.

Sorry to hear about your leg Dabe. thanks, dharma. Your back...... my leg...... Actually, this is the fourth time I've broken my leg. As soon as I can maneuver around on crutches better, and it doesn't hurt so much to put my leg down, I'll be going back to work, hopefully next week. <TABLE ce

Yeah, you were what, 8 or 9 years old when it was all over? You are so clueless. You just make it up as you go along. No facts necessary. Just make these allegations, in the hopes that it would serve to discredit me. Well, you fail yet again, just like your contentions that I post from work, which w

BECAUSE OF GEORGE W. BUSH- The Commander in- Chief! COL, I hate to correct you in this atmosphere of American nationalism and dubya lovefests that pour out of ju, but.......... I think you mean Commander in Thief .

Where is everyone when we have a disaster? Nowehere to be found. We should remember that next time our 'buddies' come a'knockin with their hands out On the one hand, I do not disagree with either of these comments. However, should a catastrophe occur in another country, particularly a third

Dabe, were you around for the Viet Nam era? Yes, I sure was. It was a hidious time for this country, split down the middle with those who supported the war, those who came home in body bags or damaged, and those who used whatever their daddies could conjure up to keep them out of the battle, even thoug

Opinions are not proof. Therefore, I am not insane. At least, and certainly, not by your standards of measurement. All I'm asking you to do is abide by your own standards. You cannot, but that sure as shit doesn't stop you. I think doggie is insane. Drmiler is insane. guy is insane. whipsy do can have a whole doctoral thesis done on her level of insanity. Yup, most of you conservtive, bush supporters are insane. You see, I c

You are just insane. Proof. I want proof. Not some speculation based on opinions. But, pure proof. After all, that's what you always seem to want. Yet, you post all kinds of crap without any proof at all. If you're going to call me insane, you better have proof. Not opinions. And certainl

Technology is grand. Kind of reminds me about how cryogenics gives power hungry and wealthy people the opportunity to get defrosted when they find cures for what ails their bodies. No such cures for what ails their minds, however.

I was home one day a number of years ago with a broken leg (like I am home today with a broken leg), and I was watching the Paris Air Show on TV. It really astounded me that the companies that showed their beautiful military aircraft were the same who also showed off their beautiful anti aircraft technology, basically selling opposite sides their technology. One side gets the aircrafts; the other side gets the tools to shoot them down. If that's not

there is no nostalgia for the vietnam era. that's bullshit. What the problem is is that it's same shit, different day. A conservative president leading his sheeple into a quagmire of a war based on lies and deception. that's not nostalgia. It's criminally insane neocons looking to make profits and pay back their oil cronies. It's a conspiracy to "unite" the country with themselves, boost their support, and secure the mideast oil fields for themse

Except that she has succeeded in becoming the catalyst for organizing the anti-war movement. That is a huge success, and one you refuse to acknowledge. Gee, go figure.

Right. Which is actually contrary to your meaningless assertion that her protest backfired. The fact is that most people think the war was/is a mistake. That's the more telling statistic, regardless of whatever you may think of Sheehan.

You will find that the movement is far from a hollow shell. It's as real as the movement that galvanized against the Vietnam war. So typical of conservative pundits is to just make it up, spin it along, regardless of the truth.

What you clearly read into this, and what Sheehan did not say was her intentions. What she did say is that she's glad that bush didn't meet with her, although it's pretty clear to most that was her initial intention. The fact that he refused has galvanized the antiwar movement, to which she admittedly is happy about. But, it was not her initial intention . Geez, guy. Get it right for once, huh?

Lame is as lame does. From the link you posted guy: The Bush administration and its supporters in Congress say Saddam has kept a stockpile of chemical and biological weapons in violation of U.N. resolutions and has continued efforts to develop nuclear weapons. Bush also has argued that Iraq could give chemical or biological weapons to terrorists. Pretty clear to me that the initial reasons for going to war with Iraq wa

She is not honoring the memory of her son. She is not bringing about policy change. She is not healing the families of fallen Soldiers. She is making a spectacle of herself at her precious son's expense. Tex, I don't disagree with anything you said above. But, it's not her place to bring policy change. She's not honoring the memory of her son, other than to use him as an example of a wasted life for a dubious at b

Quit crying about other peoples' name calling. Actually, I did refrain from the namecalling when I was allowed back in. But, you didn't. You started up, right where you left off. So, I resumed. Then, you have the audacity to blame me. what a joke. As for namecalling, I couldn't even print what I re
