#1 "Thirty years ago, Congress cut off aid to Vietnam and Cambodia two years after American troops had been withdrawn and local forces were still desperate to resist. Domestic divisions had overcome all other considerations. We must not repeat the tragedy that followed."

Which is why we need to go all out and push for Iraq veterans and other conservatives for Congress this year. The Battle of Iraq is won militarily on the ground, but can still be lost in Congress.

#2 Yeah, the fact that Democrats in Congress condemned South Vietnam to torture and murder, JUST so that they could spite Nixon's legacy, is a story that is rarely if ever told. It's certainly not on the radar. Look for Obama to pull the same thing if he gets into office. To hell with the Iraqis, the important thing is to make sure that Bush doesn't have anything positive associated with him WHATSOEVER. There will be NO "well, look at Iraq these days, it's doing great!"

#3 Yeah, the fact that Democrats in Congress condemned South Vietnam to torture and murder,

And Cambodians to genocide. Pity that war criminal Jane Fonda wasn't brought to justice and hung.
