"Dan/W4NTI" w4nti@get rid of this mindspring.com wrote in message ink.net...
"Ged" wrote in message ... In message t, Dan/W4NTI writes It is to a large part old boy. Ask the Japs what happened when they did their sneak attack. Ask Germany how it liked those B17 daylight raids. **** us off and its hell to pay. Dan/W4NTI I guess the Vietnamese and Somalis whipped yer arses because you just weren't ****ed off enough eh? (Standby for the usual Republican answer of 'we weren't allowed to win by the politicians') -- Ged I don't really see where the Vietnamese and the Somalies 'whipped our arses'. What I remember happening is the US Government WIMPED OUT before we won. Neither situation was worth a damn. But don't blame the soldiers for the actions of NIXON, KISSENGER and CLINTON. Dan/W4NTI Dan, as I recall, Nixon didn't open up Vietnam, and Clinton didn't open up Somalia. I don't think Kissinger had much to do with either. But he did figure out how to get OPEC organized, have an oil embargo, then jack up the price of oil so they could buy US armaments. |

I was refering to who ENDED it and HOW. As for Kissinger he was a MAJOR part of how we wimped out to the North Vietnamese, allowed them to keep troops in the South while we turned tail and let the South Vietnamese swing at the end of the rope we tied. No arguement of Mr. K. and his deals later on. Dan/W4NTI |
