She could do that by contracting terminal blood cancer and refusing
medication.
You do as you wish. The bitch can never, never, never undo the damage
she did to POW's or vets. Don't presume you speak for anyone but
yourself.
She has a history of saying the right thing when it is important to
her career. An amoral bitch on my side of the issue.
Ha Ha!! Good!! I think you deserve the pain.

Notice how the poor, pitiful, desperate "i2p6 West"
creature displays such psychological problems as to delight
in the anguish and misery and pain of others and wish others
suffer?
His wish, Jim, that you deserve the pain, and his desperate
canard of being a "babykiller" seems to harken back to those
wonderful critters who delighted in calling families of
military who had been injured or killed in Vietnam and
spewed forth their bile.
Such a pitiful, psychological disabled critter who has such
an arrested development.
At the very least he is so jealous of those who did go and
served honorably and have accomplished much in their lives
while he.... well, he is simply "i2p6 west"...
Pitiful.

Oh, your mom tell you about me. But, she was easy anyway.
Ah his momma probably told him it was me who kicked his crib over back
when she was working on her back.
She had a choice of 10 or so guys to blame every day and I got the
rap? Eh?
The only apology I want is for her to look up at the Pearly Gates my
late Marine husband is guarding and scream "I'm sorry" before she
descends into a firey hell for eternity.
And anyone who supports her by buying her trashy, self-serving book is
walking on the fighting side of me and just better stay the hell outta

Good for you, Jones. I think she is a surrogate for a lot of the crap we
got stuck with and the support we didn't get, which probably accounts
for the obsessing.
But I won't accept her apology because it isn't, and we can agree that
she is what she is, as long as that is a self serving traitor.
I don't know why Smitty wound up in LBJ but he told us once or twice or
whatever but the fact of it is something over there bothered him and instead
of getting up in the morning and going to work on a/c or recovering a/c he
said fuck it. I hope he's able to retire from his teaching job before he
says "fuck it" once more.
if he wants to "get over" Hanoi Jane it's his privilege...he earned it.
however he has no fucking right whatsoever to tell me or anyone else to "get
over" the bitch or anyone else that has dissed us in the past.
save that warm fuzzy shit for shots of tequila in front of the fireplace.

Everybody has their own way of dealing with the past. But Jane will
never outlive the shit she did. We had prisoners like John McCain being
tortured and murdered not a few miles from where she was doing the dirty
for the NV. And her recent resurfacing and pseudo apology is just about
bucks, and, as usual, at our expense. She should rot in hell.

I'm sorry that I ruffled your feathers. Let me put it a
different way, one that a liberal can understand. I could
ask the courts to make a ruling whether or not she should
be removed from her feeding tube.
Just this evening she was interviewed on 60 minutes and got nailed
pretty good. Leslie Stahl asked her what she would think of a person who
went over and spent quality time in Iraq with the likes of terrorist
Zarquahri. She was at a loss for words and only stammered a bit. I also
didn't realize she had a meeting with some of our POWs, which really
steamed me. I wonder how many at that table made it out alive.
She gets worser and worser.
I spent 5 years working on POW/MIA issues and met a good number of
POWs from NVN. They were generally very bitter towards her and others
who made their life hell. Viets put them thru the ropes (literally)
to try to coerce meetings with these peace advocates as well as
statements friendly to the enemy. One bashed his face in rather then
meet with them. For it he was tortured badly.
Just hit her where it hurts the most. Spread the words around to people
and urge them not to go see her movie. The older Vietnamese community
hated Jane Fonda more than they hated John Kerry.
Hey ! You can "plonk" everyone !
That will hurt everyone's feelings.

this stage. I decided years ago that for me to be angry at her did me
no good. I don't watch her movies, and will shy away from the shows
that have been giving her airtime recently. The urinal targets in her

The main theme of de Selby's critique of Foucaultist power relations
is a mythopoetical totality. In a sense, the primary theme of the
works of Pynchon is not narrative, but postnarrative. If one examines
subdialectic deconstructivist theory, one is faced with a choice:
either accept the patriarchial paradigm of consensus or conclude that
narrative is created by the masses. Hubbard states that the works of
Pynchon are not postmodern. However, Bataille promotes the use of
subdialectic deconstructivist theory to analyse and modify society. In
Mason & Dixon, Pynchon denies the deconstructivist paradigm of
expression; in Vineland, although, he affirms the capitalist paradigm
of discourse. Thus, Debord uses the term 'Foucaultist power relations'
to denote a neostructural whole. Several theories concerning the
difference between class and society exist. Therefore, the subject is
interpolated into a subdialectic deconstructivist theory that includes
art as a paradox. Bataille suggests the use of Foucaultist power
relations to attack sexism. It could be said that Baudrillard's essay
on the capitalist paradigm of discourse implies that sexuality is
capable of intention, given that truth is interchangeable with
consciousness. Pynchon and Foucaultist power relations In the works
of Pynchon, a predominant concept is the concept of cultural reality.
If subcapitalist cultural theory holds, we have to choose between the
capitalist paradigm of discourse and Debordist situation. However,
Bataille uses the term 'Foucaultist power relations' to denote not
dematerialism, but neodematerialism. D'Erlette suggests that the works
of Pynchon are modernistic. It could be said that the premise of the
capitalist paradigm of discourse holds that the purpose of the writer
is deconstruction. The without/within distinction prevalent in
Pynchon's V emerges again in Vineland. But Derrida uses the term
'Foucaultist power relations' to denote the role of the poet as
participant. Marx promotes the use of subdialectic deconstructivist
theory to analyse sexual identity. It could be said that many
narratives concerning capitalist desublimation may be discovered.

Its much worse than that. In the book that Halderman wrote just prior to
his death, he reveals "Mr. K's Plan" (Henry Kissinger, of course). Nixon
had promised peace in Vietnam during his first campaign, Mr. K came up
with the strategy that if he postponed the Peace in Vietnam to just
prior to his reelection campaign, it would have greater impact for his
reelection. This is exactly what he did, and many (me included) served
and many died in that time span for a foregone result just to give Dick
an edge for his next campaign. Of course, he fucked it up anyway by his
preposterous coverup of Watergate and had to quit the Presidency in
disgrace. If we only knew the rest at that time.....
The gallactic self interest of many of our leaders is beyond belief. The
irony is they depend on the public service of others to serve their own
greed and egos.
Then do us all a favor and shut the fuck up about her. Nobody is obsessing
about her more than you are.

Don T., it was a malicious little bitch. Persistent, too. I thought I had
destroyed it several times, and each time after a day or so it would pop up
again. My elder son, who is a computer guru of some sort for the state
comptroller--now there is a snake pit--spent the best part of a Saturday
afternoon cleaning up my machine. Exuding confidence, he sat down at my
keyboard, while I talked with the son of an old, old friend, my wine
merchant. The son owns and tends bar at one of the "great dives" in Austin,
according to a local alternative-culture newspapter. (He had come to visit
and to pick up the engagement ring I had put together for him. It was a
ring to die for; the nicest stone I ever hope to handle; round brilliant,
slightly deep, 1.51 carats, F color and VVSi. The twenty-four smaller
stones sprinkled all over the platinum mounting came to .48 carats. Price:
$10,500, and even at that, a bargain. I insured the big stone before
setting it; that alone cost $400. I wouldn't take his money for putting the
thing together, so he brought me a bottle of vintage port from his Dad's
cellar, Barros colheita 1950, kept in the wood until it was bottled in 2000.
I cannot imagine the occasion when I am going to have the guts to pop the
cork on that one.)
Anyway, after about thirty minutes I heard my son, still at the computer,
say "Uh oh." He had discovered that my McAfee protection, which was paid
for and up to date, wasn't working. When he tried to go to the McAfee web
page, something had blocked him. That was scary. By the end of the
session, my boy had discovered two worms, any amount of spyware and adware,
and a couple of things that he couldn't identify but that looked downright
evil.
So I now have a clean bill of computer health, and a schedule whereby that
blessed elder son comes by at frequent intervals to do the computer
equivalent of an MRI and keep me in business.
It is very early morning just now, and I heard two news items on PBR--yes, I
admit it; I am a closet PBR fan--that struck hard. One was the news that a
certain former roundballer named Havlicek is 65. For the children out there
who read this, that fact won't have much meaning, I admit. The other report
is that the funeral of John Paul II is nearly finished being "celebrated."
That is just the right term to use. His life is worth celebrating.
I get tickled at attempts to classify this pope as a liberal, or as a
conservative for that matter. He was adamantly conservative, without
apology, on such issues as birth control and the celibate, male priesthood.
He was liberal in opposing the war in Iraq, and in calling out to Islam and
to Jewry alike, calling the Jews "our elder brothers," and apologizing for
their past persecutions.

Since you brought the subject up... Read this...
WASHINGTON, DC --- Ted Kennedy, who was recently declared brain-dead by his
physician, is fighting for his life. The Senator's family is trying to have his
feeding tube removed to allow him to die a sober death. The tube, attached to a
bottle of vodka and a bottle of gin, has been utilized by the senator for his
entire adult life. Medical experts believe removal will almost certainly result
in death.
"This is a very complex situation," said one medical expert. "Senator Kennedy
appears to be functioning normally to many people, but it is quite obvious that
the man is brain-dead by his public comments. Most of us in the medical
community think he should be allowed to have a dignified death by sobering him
up and removing his feeding tube."
Liberals were stuck in a quandary today as they discussed Terri Schiavo's death,
but they don't want Ted Kennedy to die. "This is a moral dilemma to many
people," said Robert Wexler, a liberal in Boca Raton.. "Fortunately, most of us
don't really make decisions based on any morals, so it's okay if we want one
person to die while allowing a brain-dead person to live."
Alcohol manufacturers around the world are scrambling to raise money for the
"Keep Kennedy Alive" fund. Removing his feeding tube is predicted to cause a
12% annual decrease in global alcohol consumption assuming Theodore Gittinger
does not die suddenly, which would cause catastrophic losses.

You used the plural and the word "two" in referring to me and the rightwing nut case osborn -->whom I responded to.
He is not a liberal. I'm not either, but you have trouble with reality so you wouldn't know how to figure that out.
The truth here is you are so fucking mad at what I said, that you can't see straight. You need to get mad at the government that made a war that it could not win -- and sent you to it. -->Just as the same elements have done the same thing in iraq to the sons and daughters of the Vietnam vets.

You have a problem with reality don't you now. nixon promised to end the war -->and then did just the opposite for his own re-election.
LBJ gave up the Whitehouse because he wanted and end to the war and knew the NV would not work with him (and we have that on tape) -- but we also know the rightwing assholes would not let he just leave Vietnam. When ever someone spoke of it, they were called soft on the commies.
JFK was left a war that no one know much about by Ike. The day after RM took office he found a memo asking from 100,000 more troops in a place called Vietnam. --The Pentagon papers were one result of that memo.
Now stop trying to rewrite history. The fact is nixon could have ended the war in Jan. 1969. He chose not to and killed another 25,000 American boys.

in the last two years of the war but since you were cleaning shitters in
Okinawa maybe you had "insider" info.
Now answer the fucking question, boy, how many did JFK & LBJ kill? Do try
to be fair and balanced in your anger, won't you? Your credibility gap is
showing once again.

I said no scuh thing and you know that. LBJ loved America enough to give up the Presidency for her. While nixon killed 25,000 more good Americans before the nation forced him to stop. You knew this, so stop playing dumb.

Just read the casualty lists. The dates of death don't lie. Even though you are trying to. -->You see that is the difference between rightwingers and the rest of us. We can deal with facts we don't like and adjust to reality. You people can't.

Hey dumb shit -- Did you ever read the Vietnam casualty list with dates? Or visit the wall? Do you know what an apex is? The apex of that wall marks the all those who died from Ike to LBJ. The other half marks the dead under nixon. 25,000 of the 58,000 who died were killed by nixon's choice.
Do try to get it now. If the truth hurts, take extra pills and sleep on it.
I spent 19 months in country, 10 1/2 of those in the field. How much combat
time do you have, Leto???

You shitheads are pretty brave now that the anti-war movement has faded into history.

(assuming you aren't too stupid to know what NLF is)
And, shithead, why were YOU too chicken shit back then to have lovely Jane arrested.
And, shithead, why are YOU too chicken shit RIGHT NOW to have lovely Jane arrested.
Oh...you're chicken shit. We can see.
Now go take your meds, you brave brave usenet chicken shit crybaby Vietnam vet.
Ha!
You should have posted this question to me, not dino. I'll give you the
best answer: get a good history book and read about it. The best book is
probably "Vietnam A History" by Stanley Karnow. Karnow was in Vietnam
for many years and has personally talked to many of the major people, on
all sides. Be sure to get the 1995 edition. Don't expect to get much
out of ANY usenet newsgroup; they are filled with angry and bottom-of-the-barrel
losers.
The U.S. military lost the war...now take a look around and ask yourself
what did we lose. What would be different if we had "won"? Either way,
was it worth the millions of dead?
Here are some FAQs:
--------------------------------------------------
2.1 What was the cause of the Vietnam war?
For the Vietnamese people: independence from foreign governments
For the French government: maintaining a colonial empire
For the U.S. government:
- In 1945: backing the French colonialist ally.
- In 1950: "fighting communism"
("fighting communism" is in quotes because many people believe that was
not the real motive. The real motive was "access to resources", coupled
with strong racism toward Asian people. Even before "communism" entered
the scene. See President Eisenhower's "domino theory" speech, and FAQ 2.4.
After 1967, the U.S. position turned into "saving face".)
--------------------------------------------------
2.2 What is the history of the war?
It took 30 years for the Vietnamese to achieve independence
(1945-1975).
1858 - French military begins the colonial period
1945 - Ho Chi Minh declares independence
1954 - French (and U.S.) defeated at Dien Bien Phu
1973 - U.S. "withdraws" combat troops from Vietnam
1975 - Total victory for Vietnamese independence
--------------------------------------------------
2.3 When did the U.S. first become involved in Vietnam?
1945 - OSS (CIA) was there
1945 - U.S. ships bring in 13,000 French colonial troops
1950 - U.S. military "advisors" help the French
1950 - 40 US Navy F-6F Hellcats arrived in Saigon
1953 - USAF Major David Saylor flies 89 combat missions for French
1954 - U.S. secret (from the American people) sabotage units
1955 - U.S. military "advisors" in "South" Vietnam
1957 - First U.S. combat death
1961 - U.S. aircraft carrier carrying Army helicopters arrived in Saigon
1962 - U.S. bombs Vietnam
1964 - U.S. naval ships in Vietnamese waters
1965 - Public arrival of U.S. combat troops
--------------------------------------------------
2.4 The U.S. was there to defend democracy, wasn't it?
No. In fact, the U.S. was there to PREVENT an election
in which the CIA had determined that a communist (Ho Chi Minh) would be
overwhelmingly elected as President.
The U.S. propped up a military dictatorship to "fight communism".
The U.S. did not care at all about the Vietnamese people. Vietnam
is 10,000 miles from the U.S. and the vast majority of U.S. citizens
had never even heard of Vietnam (there was no English language history
of Vietnam available anywhere until 1958.)
U.S. society was a strongly racist society against Asians (and all
non-whites) and we generally were taught that Asians were inferior. Our
arrogance was a prime cause of the war as Americans thought that this little
insignificant country would be easily crushed by the far superior U.S. military.
During the war many U.S. soldiers openly referred to Vietnamese people as
"gooks", "slopes", or "dinks" (which included our allies the "South" Vietnam
people). Many soldiers gave up trying to distinguish the friend from the enemy as
evidenced by a phrase made popular during the war: "Kill 'em all and let
God sort it out".

1969 - 11614 (only 11 months of this total should be during Nixon's
presidency since he wasn't sworn in until late Jan69, so there were about
10,646 that can be counted)
1970 - 6083
1971 - 2357
1972 - 640
1973 - 168
Total - 19,894 maximum during Nixon's presidency. This total includes
deaths as a result of wounds from previous administrations (remember JFK &
LBJ?), but still, less than 20,000 directly attributable to Nixon which is a
far cry from the 25,000 you bluster on like an old woman about, Turdy. You
should practice what you preach when it comes to using facts. Remember
this, Le'Turd, Nixon ended the war, LBJ escalated it.

Unchecked? Perhaps in your moment of hysteria while having another one of
your hissy fits after being proven wrong once
again (as always, actually), you missed the link I provided:
http://thewall-usa.com/stats/. And since you are so concerned with facts,
you also must have missed the fact that LBJ escalated the war, Nixon ended
it, before his first term was completed. Your so-called stats were more
than 25% inflated in your quest to discredit a Republican president while
completely exonerating LBJ for escalating the war to the point it couldn't
be won then running away from the presidency because he couldn't save face.
Shame on you and your lack of truthfulness, but you've never been known for
honesty have you?

Ask these guys, Le'Turd: http://thewall-usa.com/stats/, it's not "according
to me", which is all your posts seems to be since you have NEVER offered any
proof of your maniacal claims. Must be caused by the fumes from the
Lime-Away you used cleaning those shitters in Okinawa.

In other words, you know you are wrong and haven't a leg to stand on to
debate the issues, like how come you never have anything to say about LBJ
killing 38,000 men & women and then running away from finishing the job and
why it took Nixon only 3 years into his FIRST term as president to get us
out of Viet Nam. Remember this, LeTurd, LBJ escalated & Nixon ended.

> You are avoiding the point, thus proving you are a lifer righwing asshole.
No, Turdlet, I made the point, you're a loser who was never anything more
than a fucking latrine cleaning janitor in Okinawa and probably haven't
amounted to any higher stature in your miserable life. And by the way, you
forgot to tell us how the folks at http://thewall-usa.com/stats/ proved your
made up "facts" to be incorrect.
Operator headspace empty is more like it.

How about LBJ killing 38,000 and running away from it and Nixon ENDING it 3
years into his FIRST term?

No, what this nation really needs is a means of putting loonies like you
