DIDNT WE PLAY THIS GAME IN VIET NAM ???
we are seeing Sodomy's Possum Strategy
retreat to the cities and population centers
let USA occupy and extend lines
then pick us off, overextended
use civilians as human shields
dont bother with uniforms
many parallels with VietNam, and a few similarities
at least we dont need Agent Orange to clear the desert brush

replace SLOPEHEADS with RAGHEADS
replace HoChiMinh with Saddam
replace SAMCity restrictions with mosque & hospital restrictions
replace Neighbor China with Saudi Arabia and Persian Gulf Emirates
replace Communism Halt with Oil Supply
replace Monsoons with SandStorms
replace Tet New Year with Ramaddan
replace Buddhist monks with Muslim Mullahs
replace Bonzai with Jihad
replace DeMilitarizedZone (DMZ) with Saudi restrictions
replace the Delta with the Gulf
replace Russian/Chinese Suppliers with Russian/Chinese Suppliers
replace Collateral Peasants with Collateral Muslims
replace Combodian Triangle CIA cocaine with Afghan CIA heroin
replace sirhans with togas and headdress
replace oxen with camels
replace gunboats with armored halftracks
replace Jeeps with Hummers

same confusion over who among civilians are combatants
same enemy fighting in civilian clothes
same enemy using civilian human shields
same bullshit managed news reporting on the war
same nonsensical moral high ground claimed
same pushbutton killing with technology
same monstrous 100:1 death counts
same 500,000 soldiers
same crippling costs to federal budgets

instead of using chemical weapons (napalm), we receive chemical weapons (nerve gas)
instead of single dangerous border with China, numerous dangerous borders

much bigger stakes !!!
we dont repeat history
we dont learn from history either
history rhymes
same price crippling inflation in a couple years
except this time, crude oil and energy prices wil cripple the economy also
