Why did Bush Stick Foot in Mouth again and Insult The Vietnamese?

He wasnt even there for it so he didnt know what he was talking about. It is really hard to pay attention to what is going on in a war when you are busy boozing it up with your buddies every night.

Snake oil?  You mean like that "apology" from Kerry?

I'm not a Conservative, nor am I brainwashed or brain-dead, but I find your statement pretty ignorant.  Kerry, the very man you're praising, disgraced his country back in Vietnam and did so again with is comments about the military.  I suggest you pull your head out of your butt and open your eyes to see what a real disgrace looks like.  Whether you like it or not, Bush did his time too and if Clinton's bj was meaningless, so is the unsubstantiated statement that Bush did cocaine.  However, the facts about Kerry are in plain sight and should be viewed for exactly what they are.....disgracing comments about Vietnam and soldiers willing to defend this country.

Because he'd been out-manouvred yet again. All through this crisis Iran has had the diplomatic upper-hand. They're more intelligent players of this game of bluff and they've gradually drawn America into a corner. \n\nSo now America has been trapped by its own belligerence and is having to negotiate at last. Yet again, the Iranians are laughing down their sleeves. \n\nAmerica deserves better than the bullying morons in the present Administration. Thanks to Bush America has become a laughing stock across the World.\n\nIran will be brought into check. They know that themselves - their game is to humiliate America and to win the respect of their Islamic neghbours. On both fronts they've succeeded because Bush's only tactic has been to bully and hector. It failed, of course, bullies are always isolated at the end.

Who was that begging us to be nice to this guy? Wake up lady! This is the United States of America! If you are stupid, you get criticized. Politics is a tough business. He knew that going in. Bush aint a crackhead though. The other writer was correct. He is a dry drunk. I think he is a little coked out too which explains is absolute inability to speak coherently. The guy is President of the US and cant even speak well publicly. What is that? All he can do is read or spew the same ole rehearsed talking points. I think he needs another vacation.

He is a coward, and avoided service during the Vietnam war. But he can send our sons and daughters to die in a war that is unfounded. He is destroying our country. You are not going to vote for this answer but I don't give a damn. I'm sick of his bull s it.

Sadam was an evil bastard but at least he pissed in his own pool.  \n\nThat Bush freak-show can't mind his own business and keep his stink off of the rest of the world.

Nixon has been one of the best president the US had together with Reagan in the last 50 years. Honorable peace? You think that by leaving the South Vietnamese helpless, it's a honorable peace that he has achieved? The pressure from the American public was too big and he had to withdraw. But, was the cause just? What did the North achieve? What were they fighting for? Communism? Where is that communism now? The American cause was a cause that was right and in the end it has proved that it were the North Vietnamese who have for something that they now do not believe... So many lives lost.... Is that honorable?

It was not for want of trying that Bush and Blair failed to find a real reason.   To attack Iraq will go down in history as the dumbest move ever.   Sorry - the second dumbest : the first was to take Saddam alive AND PUT HIM ON TRIAL!!   This farcical process matches the one against Slobodan Milosovich at the Hague and is going the same way, with a fairly good- and straight-looking defendant outshining his prosecutors in every way, just as Milosovich did at the Hague, and Goring and Streicher did at Nuremberg (another kangaroo court).

Because he's an idiot. Not as big an idiot as Bush, but still an idiot. Fear-mongering played a big role too.

Why not look at what John Kerry said back in 1971, if that is the source of the question. If you read his speech, you can see remarkable parallels to the current war. He expressed concern about the government's policy then, just as we are doing today. He is questioning the wisdom of our being in Vietnam at all, and why more soldiers need to die for a failed cause. Maybe that needed to be said much sooner.\nHe also acknowledged the testimony of many soldiers who described acts during war which can only be described as war crimes, but Kerry was placing the blame not on the soldiers but on the war itself. Each generation that goes to war discovers again that "war is hell." \nThink what you want, but please read the entire speech and try to put it into context, as well as his other actions after he returned from his service in Vietnam.

He said something about if you study hard you do good but if you don't you get stuck in Iraq. What he was supposed to say is if you study hard you do good but if you don't you get us stuck in a war in Iraq. That's not the exact words but that's what he said.\nIt was supposed to be a joke on Bush. He later apologized to the troops, not to Bush I don't think. I hate it that Kerry stuck his foot in his mouth (but it happens); I like him.

The Americans had a reason to be in Vietnam, more or less, so people shouldn't have spat on 'em too much.  But Iraq?  No reason : so the locals have every reason to spit.  The poor GIs will just have to put up with it.  At least they have body armour - maybe face plates would be a good anti-spit precaution.

I was called those names when I returned from Viet Nam.  I'll tell you it wasn't Vietnamese doing it.  It was a bunch of women hippies whose boy friends had propelled their cowardly a$$es across the border into Canada.  I served when called, and I am disabled because of it.  The cowards were forgiven and the illegals are welcomed with open arms.  I sometimes ask myself; why did I do it?

No it wasn't fair.  Bush bashed Kerry on his service in Vietnam which Bush was hiding from and Kerry would have made a terrific president.  And still might.

I'm sure somebody used em to describe Vietnam.   I think, though, that the issue they're talking about is our responsibility to provide stability in government. The removal of Saddam created a very real power vaccume in Iraq. (question of right/wrong in doing so aside) Simply leaving after getting Saddam, would have drawn even more condemnation from the world. The world would  be screamin at us for NOT doing something to help them. As it is, they're screaming at us FOR doing somehthing. Whether or not what we're doing is effective, is another story.
