Bush equates Vietnam and Iraq

President George W Bush has warned a US withdrawal from Iraq could trigger the kind of upheaval seen in South East Asia after US forces quit Vietnam.

"The price of America's withdrawal was paid by millions of innocent citizens," he told war veterans in Missouri.

Mr Bush said the Vietnam War had taught the need for US patience over Iraq.

His speech comes amid an apparent rift with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki, but Mr Bush said Mr Maliki was a "good man with a difficult job".

Hours earlier, Mr Maliki called recent US criticism of his work "discourteous".

Sheesh. I didn't think there was one person left on earth who believed we did the right thing by intervening in Vietnam in the first place. Even the guy who sent us there made a movie apologizing for his lack of fore site. Now we have a president who completely ignores history and says our only mistake was not staying longer. What we need is someone willing to start a no citizen left behind act. We the people do not want this man to lead us anymore, nor do we want a congress so weak they can't impeach him for war crimes. Even the President of Iraq has said publicly he believes the United States is guilty of war crimes.

The very least someone could do is declare the president and his Vice President and their cabinet insane.

Nope, that's not fair, because the military is just as much at fault for following illegal and immoral orders. And we are at fault for allowing the improper voting to happen in the last two elections. And, with all the research coming out about the new voting machines and how easily they are manipulated, I would not be surprised if those in power allowed them to be utilized anyway.

Well, it's obvious from what I'm reading in the literature about the future of education in our country that our government is planning very soon for a huge influx of Chinese speakers, so I'm sure all this worry about our current form of government is moot. Someone is planning some big changes in the very near future. Look closely at both these lists: US DEPT OF ED 2007 & US DEPT OF ED 2006. Unfortunately the lists of classes have been removed from 2006, but you can still read about the main focus. Admittedly there are a lot less about Chinese in 2007, but they are still there, and they still vastly outnumber the workshops on hispanic and black children. In fact, there were none (unless the government is doing it's irrational best to lump them all as low-achieving students, which is a lie much like the NCLB), of which it offers one workshop. Curiously, this year there was also a Hindi workshop. Notice the severe lack of workshops on Muslims, or anything regarding the middle east. Ignore them and maybe they'll go away seems to be the prevailing attitude. Our government is in severe need of drastic change.
