Next month will mark the 40th anniversary of my uncle's death in Vietnam, a war we gained nothing from.

40 years from now, some nephew will remember an uncle whose life was wasted by for a war in Iraq. I only hope we are out of that Hell hole by then.

Was your uncle drafted or did he volunteer like everyone serving in Iraq has done?

Stay on topic. A death isn't diminished or enhanced based on whether one is drafted or volunteered.

LBJ Lied, Bush lied. American soldiers died for these lies. A real waste.

I would like to know. If Radioblogman does not want to answer then thats his business, not yours Osama Bin Skeptical.

A prime example of how when you don't learn from history you are doomed to repeat it.

The administration had the total support of the country and the world community after 9-11. But instead of continuing to pursue the war against terrorism, he invaded Iraq. His war. His doing. His legacy is one of failure. Counterterrorism requires friendly allies and close cooperation. The Bush administration alienated France, Germany and Spain, along with many Middle Eastern nations that had long waged struggles of their own against terrorist groups. Bush is widely despised and has left America isolated in the world. Virtually all the publics of all major nations hate US policy. One poll showed that in secular Turkey where Muslim extremism is widely reviled and Bin Laden is generally disliked, the public preferred Bin Laden to Bush. Bush is widely seen as more dangerous than al-Qaeda. This image is bad for US counterterrorism efforts.

Osama Bin Skeptical.

Good one dipshit

OK, Trixter and MC74 bump the previous winner and are now the new Forum Death Match Fightrs with a close second to MC74 and JenniferMarlow.

Now now ladies ...

Trixter could not keep up so I replaced him with Marlow.

True!
I grew up....

Must be old age or his Viagra ran out!

I thought Mc74 asked a legitimaite question. I would also be curious if Radioblogmans uncle was drafted or not.

And by the way, who pissed in your coffee Trixter?
