It was impossible to get through to his show. I'm sure hundreds of calls swamped his lines.
I wanted to say that Dennis sounds precisely like LBJ in his speeches to expand the Vietnam war. Just juxtapose 'radical Islam' with 'Communist', the 'Domino Theory' with the 'War on Terror' and 'Asia' with the 'Middle East'.
The Domino Theory [War on Terror] held that if we didn't stop those lousy Communists [Radical Islamo-Fascists] in Vietnam [Iraq] , the rest of Asia [the Middle East] would fall like dominoes, and the rest of the world would soon follow.
Those lousy Communists [radical Islamo-fascists] are hell-bent on destroying America and the American way of life.
We had 3 times the troops and hardware in Vietnam and killed 2 million Vietnamese and lost 60 thousand Americans and the Vietnamese kicked our tails out of there after more than a decade of war.
Did the rest of Asia fall like dominoes? Did the world soon follow? Did we learn anything about war propaganda and the demonization of a simple people into our mortal enemies who are single-minded about destroying us?
Apparently Dennis Miller hasn't learned anything.
He mentions the ME becoming a 'Killing Field' if we leave Iraq now. The UN estimates over 1,000,000 died as a direct result of sanctions against Iraq, and the killing continues.
We abruptly pulled out of Iraq the first time and millions of Iraqis and Kurds were tortured and killed by the Saddam Regime which it didn't seem to matter to Pappy Bush in the least.
What constitutes a 'Killing Field', Dennis?
This country is becoming insane. If anything, one should reason that we aren't in Iraq to fight terrorists. We're there to create terrorists to justify the huge expenditures that make the same few people rich who got rich on every war this century...the Central Banks who make the loans out of thin air, and the Arms Industry.
