Chief: "BTW, I was active USN from Jan 75 through Apr 99. Spent over 3/4's of my career in SW Asia.
bvb: Well, that's great. What is your point
His point is that he spent 24+ years imagining that he coudda stopped the reds personally if only LBJ woudda done blah blah blah. Same way we stopped the reds in China... oh wait. Doesn't everyone know that LBJ was only pretending to fight when he escalated from 16000 troops in 1963 to to 540,000 by late 1968?
Fortunately Nixon listened to the experts, just like dubya, and won the war, with honor, as proven by the Pentagon Papers.
Oh yeah, if only we had listed to the Chief and applied the special tactic well known among conspiracy mongers, my uncle would not have been shot down in a useless preemptive war and we all would have lived happily ever after.

He was advised by EVERYONE,
I was there! It was everyone! I mean Everyone! Nary a word against it!
US completely pulling out of Iraq, Wasn't nobody who wanted us out of this 12-year war where we invaded the wrong country! Nobody! Oh year, if you exclude the American people. And forget the fact that invading and occupying Iraq looking for nonexistent WMD, forget the fact that it was the best jihadist recruitment tactic.
Solution - elect another Bush!! Throw in a nut job tea party VP to appease the red meat wacko base - bingo!

Can't make a lick of sense here...have some more coffee. Hurry.
A reminder: This thread is about ISIS. Not LBJ, the KKK or Rita Hayworth.
Yes, we know the rightwing media talking points you repeat
...ISIS could have been stopped by the President and it's all his fault. If only 'ol Mitt would have been at the helm, or Sarah Palin was in on the meetings...groan.
Meanwhile, our brave young men and women continue to risk their lives....

Red/Blue... doesn't matter to me. All I see are criminals that have murdered millions of people around the world to serve their own interests. Vietnam is a perfect example of a horrible waste of tens of thousands of our own boys to fight another false "enemy" only created through propaganda. Now we buy clothing from Vietnam and send them fissable material for nuclear reactors.
There's nothing new here with ISIS except flashy, professinal videos of atrocious murders against just about every country that is targeted by this propaganda. The supposed grass-roots fundamentalism story of ISIS makes absolutely zero sense. To drive as many trained and well armed men across the distances that "ISIS" has covered requires massive funding, coordination and control. That doesn't happen with rag-tag "radical recruits". Where do the thousands of wounded ISIS warriors go? How do they establish the supply lines for food, fuel, ammunition, weapons, vehicles, etc? And at the same time they're being bombed by us they have even more money and time to weave another web of destruction across the entire world, on video. And they don't touch Israel, who is in their backyard actually killing Muslims everyday. Interesting.
These concrete realities, these complex massive logistics do NOT spotaneously arise out of Muslim angst.
There is something seriously wrong with this cartoonish monster.

Rita Katz the only distributor of these flashy, professinal videos of atrocious murders.
Rita gets them and is the sole source even before ISIS announces them.

Hey, Chief, do you think FEAR was being facetious with his question about
why ISIS doesn't attack Israel or was he trolling? LOL
I heard an excellent bit on NPR yesterday where the Saudi Intel head was
really laying it on the line. Dude was straight up and no BS. He called
out the Euros for being the limp-wristed worthless lot they usually are.
According to him they refuse to attack any ISIS targets outside of Syria.
Yeah, that's helpful.

Well, know sh#t, chief loudmouth . We get it. JFK fooked up big time (though he was not a chicken hawk) and LBJ made it worse. We got the fookin point. We all knew this years before your nonstop yammering about it here. Nowhere have I defended LBJ's foreign policy, nor did I vote for him.
And in case you decide to dig way back, let's get this out of the way too. I did not vote for Andrew Jackson--the first Democratic president--and I believe his treatment of Native Americans was abhorrent. Except for telling southern separatists to stick it, he basically sucked. FDR's approval of the internment for Japanese was likewise horrible. Andrew Johnson might have been the worst president ever, setting back Lincoln's efforts at reconstruction, and the fair treatment of African Americans, decades. I have never cast a vote for AJ, for any office, nor would I have voted for him if he sought re-election. Oh, and Clinton lied about getting his johnson sucked off. That's bad, but I did vote for him twice.
That should just about cover it. Any other major Dem presidential fook ups from decades ago that you need to get off your chest?
