For those who don't know - Saigon fell that day. Many have compared the Iraq quagmire to the one in 'Nam. Personally I think shrub is too stupid to surrender and leave (or too stubborn), and I think Iraq will become the US's version of the USSR in Afghanistan. The idiot cowboy will reinstate the draft, bankrupt our country, and ignore the voice of the people of America to stay in Iraq.

I am so worried about our troops, and I am scared to death shrub is truly going to set off world war 3 by bombing the hell outta Iraq.

1. No, it will compare to the day Nazi Gouvernor-General Hans Frank
assumed control of Poland.

Although, of course, the Nazis didn't have to do all the pretending that the Imperial Family is doing in order to keep the sheep asleep.

2. It very much reminds me of the Vichy government set up....
in France by the Nazis. Substitute Allawi for Petain and it is exactly the same, imo.

4. Will it won't.
It was 29 years ago. You can't even do the decade jive here. Iraq has already been bombed twice. Your hysteria is remarkable,but ill placed.
