2. I remember that.
Johnson didn't seek re-election and we got 5 years of Nixon.

Be careful what you wish for.

3. History, that pesky thing, loves to repeat itself.

11. Look, I served during that time. This is nothing like that time.
And President Obama is not like LBJ. Were you even alive then?

19. Sure was alive then...no thanks to
LBJ and the LBMFs (Little Brown Mother Fuckers)

Sorry for the racist acronym, but it's history-appropriate.

Obama certainly isn't like LBJ. LBJ bulled and bullied his way thru Congress and got Civil Rights passed, got Medicare passed, got the Great Society passed.

All that time, he said: "I knew from the start if i left a woman i really loved -- the great society -- in order to fight that bitch of a war in vietnam then i would lose everything at home. my hopes my dreams."

If Obama leaves the rebuilding of this country to chase a phantom in Afghanistan, he'll lose everything.

21. Well said. It is deja vu all over again

and everybody should have seen it coming this time because BO said he'd do this. I suppose that's a plus; he's actually kept one campaign promise.

Lots of people are willing to let it go on as long as it doesn't impact them, i.e., there's no draft.

17. There is no "way out" other than just leaving..
We can either leave now or leave later.

The main difference is that if we leave later we will be poorer both in blood and treasure.

20. BOOO...? BOOO...??
And you tell me to grow up??

"We can't just leave."

Why the fuck not? Tell me. Tell me how Vietghanistan is vital to US security, when the remnants of Al Quaeda in in Pakistan and Indonesia and wherever.

It's simply not worth our blood and borrowed treasure. Even if we "win" whatever that means.

BOOO your ass!

16. I was trying it earlier...
Hey, hey Mr. Obama, how many kids did you separate from Momma...

The cadence is off a bit though.
