LOL! This coming from people who regularly cite rightwing sources as the basis of their arguements. Some diversity. Brian gave me a rehash of Joe Scarborough's take on the Viet Nam War 30 later. Nothing oringal about that. I just read a letter in my local paper about a young man who took a month long trip to View Nam to see the lingering war effects for himself. Funny, but he came to dramatically different conclusions than an arm chair pundit like Joe Scarborough. Now, that's original, actually vising a country for yourself and drawing your own conclusions. I can't believe we're even talking about the Viet Nam War in a serious manner anymore?!? Even Lyndon Johnson, who was utimately responsible for escallating the Viet Nam War to rediculous proportions was caught on his Presidental tapes saying that he had serious doubt that The Gulf of Tonkin incident ever occured, which was the basis for escallating that pointless war. Viet Nam was a fraud from start to finish. Better to just be forgotten as a big mistake that wasted 58,000 American lives, millions of IndoChinese lives and untold Billions of dollars that could have been put to far more productive uses building a better and stronger America.

Yet more bad news for regulars of this thread: Wednesday, May 4, 2005 · Last updated 5:30 a.m. PT Iraqi forces capture Saddam's relative THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Iraqi security forces captured a son of one of Saddam Hussein's half brothers, who allegedly financed the insurgency, in a raid on suspected militants near the ousted dictator's hometown, the government said Wednesday. The operation took place earlier this month near Tikrit, Saddam's hometown, 80 miles north of Baghdad. Several other suspected militants were arrested in the raid, which netted authorities a cache of explosives, the statement said. Ayman Sabawi is the son of Sabawi Ibrahim al-Hassan, a half brother of Saddam's, who served as a presidential adviser before the U.S.-led invasion. Al-Hassan was captured Feb. 26 this year. Ayman Sabawi "played a particularly active role in sustaining the terrorism by providing financial support, weapons and explosives to terrorist groups," the statement said. Saddam, who has three half brothers, was captured by U.S. forces in December 2003 and remains in custody. He is charged with war crimes, but no date has been set for his trial.
