	Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips McCain still thinks Vietnam war good idea [!!] clipped by: masbury clippers remarks: "one of the few people in public life" who thinks so, says George McGovern. "anybody who cant see that ... I have some questions about where they may lead us in the future." Clip Source: www.democracynow.org GEORGE McGOVERN: Well, I worry about John McCain. He?s one of the few people in public life that still thinks the war in Vietnam was a good idea. It was an utter, unmitigated disaster. And anyone who can?t see that after all these years, I have some questions about, in terms of where they may lead us in the future. He voted for the war in Iraq and not only thinks that was a good idea, he wants more troops over there. I think it was a disastrous idea and that we ought to be bringing our troops home, not talking about surges and sending more troops over there to be shot at. So, rather than have Senator McCain still basking in the glories of Vietnam and still supporting this unfortunate war in Iraq, I think we need somebody like Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, who say, if they?re elected, they?re going to get the troops out of there. AMY GOODMAN: And do you think they are? GEORGE McGOVERN: Yes, I do. Tags: mccain, vietnam, politics, mcgovern zum Artikel...

Horrors of Viet Nam/Horrors of Iraq clipped by: kkcapricorn clippers remarks: Hermann Goering, said, "Why ? of course the people dont want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people dont want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

Cheney enjoyed five student deferments while his buddy Bush got drunk on weekends at the National Guard Armory in Texas. What do the Iraq and Vietnam wars hold in common? Both wars erupted from lies by sitting presidents. Results?

It made arms manufacturers rich. It filled the pockets of aircraft CEOs how many will commit suicide from their personal nightmares in Iraq bodies disfigured beyond human understanding? will live lives self-medicating with alcohol, pills suffer divorces or long term depression will become the new homeless on the streets of America?
