Weeping for war....Iraq = Vietnam - Boehner weeps.
Edited on Thu May-24-07 07:30 PM by LeftHander
I watched the Boehner video.

I think the emotion is real. That emotion is showing how the people who have bought into the Bush marketing campaign, the false American sitcom dream, are coping with this war. His world is falling apart. He wants America to WIN. So many Americans want to "win" they are willing to accept anything the administration says or does. They want America to win. They don't want to imagine that this war is anything like Vietnam.

So they weep. They weep because they know...it is wrong but pride, selfishness and greed precludes them from coming to grips with reality.

Iraqification of the conflict.

How could we of let this happen again.

1. You should have heard Obey the other day.
He was going on about why he needs to vote for funding, then actually committed a Freudian slip and called it Vietnam.

5. I think he cries because he realizes
that his party is nearly dead, in spite of the Dems best efforts to keep them alive.

6. He's weeping because his party is dissolving before his eyes.
They all had such great hopes of ruling the world until the village idiot ended it for them.
