Thread: It’s Not Like Vietnam—It’s Perpetual War In Afghanistan

  1. #1

    Default It’s Not Like Vietnam—It’s Perpetual War In Afghanistan

    WH Media’s 123s did not forget bin Laden’s departure
    Mr. Obama endeavors to be to be—Mr. Karzai’s partner
    Reminds me of one of Slick’s campaign gamesmanships
    But this partnership—leads the way to perpetual hardship

    We see Mr. Obama in his general’s helmet quite a bit
    He insists he is a master of strategies and tactics
    Exhibits an enormous degree of confidence and gravitas
    TV presents—a General of decoration and experience

    Reruns will aggrandize his heroic actions of before
    The legend of a great General and his battlefield lore
    Just before E-Tuesday—his battlefield eyes will zoom
    As he and TV scan the field for Boogiemen that loom

    I will not carry a rifle the day we have our say
    For a nation of laws is the American way
    Instead, I will be equipped with a broom
    To sweep White House rooms—back to Chicago goons!

    T Kosciuszko

    Once more Rs ignore the free-market, limited gov candidate
    They are pitiful bores—appear afraid to differentiate!
    Human freedom is Imagination's most precious possession.

    The real story is how much damage has been done to the US land forces by enemies with inconsequential military capability in places that are not a strategic interest of the US.
    Out of every one hundred men they send us, ten should not even be here. Eighty will do nothing but serve as targets for the enemy. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, upon them depends our success in battle. But one, ah the one, he is a real warrior, and he will bring the others back from battle alive.

    Duty is the most sublime word in the English language. Do your duty in all things. You can not do more than your duty. You should never wish to do less than your duty.

    It is not like vietnam... this time the guys coming back are brainwashed into believing they are heroes instead of baby killers.
    Ignorance, the precondition of knowledge. Not frequently mistaken for innocence, which is the real shame. Ignorance is the chaos from which knowledge can grow, but never organize. The untilled soil of a receiving mind. Of Ignorance, I plead ignorance.

    What you heard—appears to be auto-pilot
    Gotta be something we can do about it
    After eleven years of battle plans
    If he still plans—he is a stupid man

    Lamentably, your reference to a similar futility
    Appears to be the electorate’s forgotten history
    Perhaps they consumed too many freedom-fries
    What else could cause them to believe so many lies?
