Good Morning, VietNam

BTW, the propaganda machine was making the same claims about VietNam. All those areas were safely under control of American and S Vietnamese army. So how did Col John Paul Vann and Daniel Ellsberg (also of the Pentagon Papers) travel through these regions? At 4 AM when even the guerillas had gone home to bed, flat out full speed, with the M-16 cuddled in the lap and already pointed out the side. Just like in Iraq, it was less safe to travel with convoys in safe areas. The 5 o'clock follys said it was safer than in some American cities. Clearly Nixon would not lie.

Deja Vue? At what point do we finally admit they (and Rush Limbaugh) are only echoing White House propaganda. Clearly Baghdad (like Vietnam) is safer. Clearly we are winning the war because the president even declared "Mission Accomplished".

I see light at the end of the tunnel. Its called that politician's shiny teeth. Clearly he did not lie about Vietnam. Why would he lie about Iraq? Clearly those troops are not firing 50 calibre rounds daily. Baghdad is safer than Washington DC!

Does the word facetious sound relevant?
