This guy can't admit he failed.
How many more lives will it take to see he made a hue mistake in Iraq?
He would have more dignity if he just stands up in admission.

Yeah. Those yellow curtains with the pink polka-dots were an interior-decorating disaster! :D

BA DUM DUM PSSHHHHH!

Good one, James R.

It seems he has now reneged on his adamant "we are winning the war in Iraq". The US Press Secretary, Glib-Master Tony Snow, was caught issuing a delightful barrage of disfluencies when pressed to explain. Stewart catches it on his Comedy Central show and even linguistics blogs picked up on his little speaking trouble.

Bush will never admit that bombing, invading and occupying Iraq over WMD was a mistake. The only mistake that was made was electing him president in the first place and re-electing him again??? That's what history will record about Bush and justifyably so.

Many Americans still think we "won" in Viet Nam.

Many Americans still think we "won" in Viet Nam.No one (Communists or US) won that war either.

Actually the communists won that one.

Actually the communists won that one.

Actually, by the strict definition of the word, the North Vietnamese weren't technically "communists". And even moreso, after the war, an interesting, if strange, "capitalism" began to take hold and is growing rapidly.

No failure. No mistake. No admission.

The guy has no reason to know you from James.

I would start to worry if he talked to his hemorrhoids, though.

;)

Actually the communists won that one. I disagree respectfully, Is it still comunist?

Yes.

Yes.

How can one call it a "communist" nation when there's so much capitalism going on all over the nation. How can it be called a "communist" nation, yet invite American companies into the country to make a profit? (And you know no capitalist company would do anything without a profit!).

True communism is where they started from, as an ideal, just like our idea of democracy. Both involve sharing as a moral principle. We don't have a true democracy, and they don't have a true communist collective.

..., and they don't have a true communist collective.

And with them moving more and more rapidly towards capitalism, can you, do you still call them a communist nation? I can't bring myself to do that ...any more than I can call Russia a communist nation.

And by the way, I don't call the US a "democracy" and never have. It's a representative republice at best ....some even go so far as to say "representative democracy", but...?

Use whatever terminology you want, but the socialists won the war, whether it was north vietnam, or china and the ussr which were helping it. It certainly was'nt the west.

Communism does'nt and has'nt exised , the USSR was socialist, China is socialist, Cuba is socialist.

I don't know whether it was a translation error or something, but CCCP did not contain the word communist.

wtf.

Sooooo....does that mean you won or something? Stop clutching at straws.

Capitalism isn't necessary part of a democracy, or even a republic, is it necessarily absent in an otherwise communist regime? Perhaps they went from communism to neo-communism. In any case, there hasn't been a revolution there since the communists took over.
