Fine, he’s feeling somewhat chastened by his own experience with Leftist insanity. Good for him. Bur he still can’t help but lie about Iraq, and Bush.

What a clueless dolt.

I’m no fan of LBJ, anf blame him for our country’s first failure at war, as well as creating the entitlement generation we now have to fix. But him sending people to die just to make some cash is ridiculous. I don’t question that he made money from the war (I’ve never looked into it). But without videotape of him saying “I need a new house, let’s send some more kids to Vietnam”, there is no way I would ever believe that.

How many people of this type are there? A hundred thousand? Ten million? How many can a society have before it disintegrates?

- Eisenhower – A leftover from WWII that never really “got it” about Russia, stuck in the 40’s.

- Kennedy – A total egonut – in office essentially because his daddy bought him the oval office. Lots of bluster and almost armeggedon mis-steps, when he wasn’t busy womanizing. so much for “Camelot”.

- LBJ – Another egonut who saw himself as some sort of modern day “Alamo” figure, in office by accident walking around with a silver star pinned to his suit coat, which one General commented was the most undeserved “honorary medal” ever presented, between lifting his dog by the ears, and fighting with all the percieved and real enemies in the press and on the left.

- Nixon – such a singularly unsuited person for president, he managed to find a way to be shamed out of office.

- Ford – Another Wilson that was just “there”, and spent most of his time falling down stairs.

- Carter – Single handedly managed to mess up the entire ME relations with America, and to this day is working against our interests.

If it wouldn’t have been for the state department plans that were kept going through this entire set of American clowns until Reagan was elected, and finally gave us leadership after all those years of political hackery, lord knows where we’d be now.

- Bang

- After the cuban debacle, in which Kennedy almost single handidly brought the world to the brink of nuclear holocaust by deploying long range missles in Turkey, aimed at the heart of Russia, The US embarked on a mission of deployement of a modern nuclear equiped sub fleet, which would be essentially indefensable, and thereby would exact, as a minimum, “assured mutual destruction”, and would in that manner “freeze” Russia for good from a “first strike”. The basic idea was to “stop the advance of Communism”, which was at that time, pushing and probing in many parts of the world to expand. Vietnam was across four different administrations, who all choose as a matter of course, to make our stand in Vietnam.

- Unfortnately it took many more years before the fleet was actually servicable and deployed finally in ‘73. America lost a lot of good people while the process dogged along, which can be argued ad nausea as to whether anyone believes it was all worth it.

- But the over riding result of that campaign was after that, Communism did not advance a single mile anywhere in the world. It is likely that that “containment”, along with the arms race that Reagan forced on the Soviets in order to bankrupt them, were both key to the eventual fall of the USSR.

- I doubt you’ll ever see that conflict presented in this manner, but irrespective of all the sensationalism, press BS, back and forth, LurchKerry moments in Cambodia wearing his magic hat that never happened, movies, and the “peace movement”, that was the real process, and intent of Vietnam all along. thats why we never actually tried to assert the full strength of our military. Winning was never the objective as far as territory, nor would we have been able to do so without bringing china into the mix if it looked like N. Vietnam would fall.

- Ho Chi Min’s ministry, years after the war was over, admitted they were ready to sue for peace after the “TET” offensive, widely mis-reported intentionally by the left-wing press as an american defeat. It was such an American defeat the North was on the verge of throwing in the towel, but thats not what we really wanted. We wanted to halt communism and we did. That the left still lives in a world of self-delusion, seeing that period as the hieght of their political influence, shows along with many other things, just how out of touch with reality they are, when you realize that they were in fact used as pawns to the real purpose. But don’t tell them that. the Democrats have already had a bad 6+ years.

- Bang

Nor can Mr. Cohen’s piece be considered any kind of an epiphany. He seems concerned only for himself and his Democrats. The fact that the kind of demonization he experienced is now the staple of Democrats and the MSM (including Mr. Cohen himself) attacks on Republicans does not seem to have occurred to him. Guess we don’t qualify as humans in his eyes.

Boo! Hoo! Nobody likes Richard “Waa! Waa!” Cohen because he doesn’t know how to write a civil and logical editorial.

Yes… that was civil and logical….

Boo! Hoo! Nobody likes Richard “Waa! Waa!” Cohen because he doesn’t know how to write a civil and logical editorial. Everybody is so mean to him for emanating raw hatred towards Stephen Colbert in his past editorial. Richard “Waa! Waa!” Cohen’s cry baby rant is simply pathetic and an embarrassment for him and the Washington Post.

This is just more proof that Richard “Waa! Waa!” Cohen is irrelevant. Besides Richard “Waa! Waa!” Cohen, the Washington Post, by allowing such nonsense to again be published on its editorial pages, is irrelevant as well.

Richard “Waa! Waa!” Cohen, why are you such a Waa! Waa!???
