the same thing, of being accused of losing Vietnam. SR————– Original message ————– From: “Yoshie Furuhashi” critical.montages@gmail.com

What worries me about this state of affairs is that presidents don’t like to see military losses land on their watch. If a Democrat
wins in‘08, bet on it, an excuse will be found to keep the troops there.
