Yes, Andy, all that about Vietnam is true, and the main factor, to be sure.
But back then a Democratic Congress cut off the money, State Department people like Ellsberg exposed the Pentagon Papers, the NYT printed them, all sorts of establishment figures backed the Vietnam moratoriums, and Nixon ordered the last troops out.
Not simply of their own accord, for sure, but getting them to that point is required, isn't it?
If you can't see a difference that makes a difference between, say, Schakowsky on this war, and Bush and Company, that you're not nearly as smart as I've always assumed you were, and I'll just rest my case on that.
Along with Danny Davis and Bobby Rush, she's recording some radio and cable ads today to get people to our 'Out Now' rally on Oct 27, and I urge everyone here to do something to mobilize new forces for the event and our movement as well.

Oh great, Carl, so she's using anti-war rhetoric to score political points against a lame-duck Bush regime, while at the same time, along with Rush and Davis, voting billions FOR the war and keeping silent about the pro-war candidates in her own party, who are most likely to be the next President and pledged to carry the war through at least 2013.
Jeeze, Carl, I'll bet the people of Iraq will really appreciate that (rhetorical) difference. She supports the war, albeit with hipper rhetoric. I'm sure it's really affecting the body count.
If you can't tell how similar that is to the current regime, Carl, I guess you're not nearly as smart as I've always assumed you were.

...'nuff said. Our differences are clear enough to all concerned.
