The JFK admin getting Diem killed helped the communists out a lot and demoralized South Vietnam.

A similar thing just happened in Afghanistan.

The US never does recover from these things. And that’s why the world views US interventions as they do.

An aside- There’s an interesting article at American Thinker today: Author notes the “concidence” that Obama made a secret trip to Afghanistan (to show support for our troops — right?) for Memorial Day; subsequently the White House “inadvertently” disclosed the name of our head CIA guy there (umm, what’s gonna happen to the local Afghanis who worked with him? anybody remember the Pakistani doctor who helped us locate Bin Laden?)

And NOW, -ta-daa! the “coincidence” part- we’ve got a “released hostage” (not a POW as the press is reporting- the Taliban do not have a state, nor a government, and aren’t a signatory to the Geneva conventions) who was exchanged for 5 terrorists, with no observance of the niceties of law by our own chief executive, amid suggestions that there may have been a financial component to the exchange as well.

Everything this President does stinks to high heaven. To paraphrase Michelle Obama, “I was never ashamed of this country until now.”

Lord Squirrel wrote “Instead, people should be focusing on the OTHER laws he broke about providing material assistance to enemies (terrorist organizations) during a time of war. This is considered TREASON according to the United States Code and the U.S. Constitution, with VERY severe penalties.”

In order for this to happen most would have to accept that a traitor was elected President and most are not that ready. Melanie Phillips, the British journalist, noted in 2008 that people were too afraid to state that Barack Obama was a fellow traveler. Even I thought that was extreme. It did not take me long to realize she was right. Maybe with this more people will wake up (sort of doubt it at this late stage though).

Eric, the Left mostly believes that they won the Vietnam war, and that consisted of psychologically breaking and wrecking the returning veterans into PTSD cases.

They believe they “won” Iraq too and are winning in Afghanistan.

Almost all enemies of the Left are right. Since whatever the Left accuses their enemies of, is 99% of the time true only of the Left.

The Swiftboat veterans were right, too.

It wasn’t a campaign ginned up for the 2004 election. Kerry’s reputation was tarnished within the military community long before the 2004 election.

It’s one thing for Kerry to have run for President. That Kerry actually ran by pitching he was a war hero was too much. It’s like he was daring Vietnam War veterans to do something.

Report: White House Accuses Soldiers Who Served with Bergdahl of ‘Swift Boating’
http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/report-white-house-accuses-soldiers-who-served-bergdahl-swift-boating-him_794307.html?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed

Every [White House] aide I’ve talked to said they expected there to be controversy involving the decision to release five members of the taliban from gitmo, and the fact that this would then escalate that debate, which has been simmering for a good five years, which is what to do with those detainees, how do you release them, where do you release them. They did not expect this backlash on bergdahl himself. I’ve had a few aides describe it to me as we didn’t know that they were going to swift boat Bergdahl. And that’s a reference to that political fight back in 2004 over john kerry’s military service, so there’s some fighting words there.

Until the Leftist alliance and all their hangers on pay for their crimes against humanity in blood, no justice will be done.

What about Obama’s defiance of Congress’ 30-day notice rule?

How quaint. Do not dare question the Great Oz Obama!
