Vietnam Related News and Opinion
While McCain Walks in McNamara's Footsteps
Norman Soloman
Truthout,
April 2, 2007
Norman Solomon writes: "The media spectacle that John McCain made
of himself in Baghdad on Sunday was yet another reprise of a ghastly ritual.
Senator McCain expressed 'very cautious optimism' and told reporters that
the latest version of the US war effort in Iraq is 'making progress.'
Awakening from a 40-year nap, an observer might wonder how much has changed
since the last war that the United States stumbled over because it could
not win. The Congressional Record is filled with insistence that the lessons
of Vietnam must not be forgotten. But they cannot be truly remembered
if they were never learned in the first place."
Dealing
With the Devil--Marc Ash tells members of Congress, "This is
your Vietnam"
"The United States occupation of Iraq will end. The American armies
like all occupying armies before them will leave Mesopotamia. This military
action has no purpose other than the enrichment of private individuals
exacting their will and lining their coffers with the blood of American
service members, the Iraqi people and US taxpayer dollars."
