(23,187 posts)1. Reminds me of a 1975 political cartoon that asked: "WHO LOST VIETNAM?"
"Not I," said Ike. "I just sent money."
"Not I," said Jack. "I just sent advah-sehs."
"Not I," said Lyndon. "I just followed Jack!"
"Not I," said Dick. "I just followed Lyndon."
"Not I," said Jerry. "What was the question?"
Then, at the end, Kissinger points an accusatory finger at the reader and bellows:
"YOU lost Vietnam because you didn't trust your LEADERS!"
While, of course, clutching a Top Secret document (and, I would have added, heroin packets).
