The only way to fix that is for him and Cheney to resign and make way for different leadership.

Won’t happen of course, which means things will only get worse.

I never said that Nixon “made” the KR kill millions. I said that the site you linked to says that he enabled the Khmer Rouge to come to power.

Did you even read the site yourself?

Plus, the site you linked to says that Nixon thought that if he ended the war in Vietnam, the civil war in Cambodia would end with it.

That wasn’t me saying that, it was the site you linked to.

“And just for clarity, those murders were EXACTLY why we kept saying the commies were murderous thugs…”

How many people in Phnom Penh died as a direct result of the refugee overcrowding? How many people died in the thousands upon thousands of B-52 bombing runs?

I’m not saying that Pol Pot wasn’t a murderous shitbag, but if you’re suggesting that Nixon’s administration was innocent in all of that, then you’re a bigger dumbass than even I gave you credit for.

And seriously, a Jane Fonda reference? Does that still cut it as biting political discourse down at the old folks’ home?

I’m just waiting for an aging, botox’ed jane fonda to climb into a burkha and head to the Hindu Kush trying to put on a show for the few remaining AQ operatives…..

ND are you blaming the nixon administration for MAKING the KR kill millions?

This is classic liberal talking-out of-both sides of -your ass.

“Yea, see…we MADE you leave vietnam, cause like, it was wrong….but then you LEFT and like, made the KR kill all those people…”

You guys are morons….no doubt about it…

“Yet despite the months of airstrikes, the bombings did little to curb NVA activities. On the contrary, communist forces crept further and further into Cambodia. The US bombers followed suit. Significant populations of Cambodian peasants were now at risk, though no one knows how many of them were killed during the campaign. And the Khmer Rouge, previously a weak guerrilla force run by disenfranchised leftist politicians, grew in the wake of the bombings, as each attack on Cambodian land legitimized their virulent hatred of Sihanouk.” (emphasis mine).

Hmmm… US military action on a sovereign nation increased the enemy’s strength. Brilliant.

Also: “The US invasion had pushed the violence even further into Cambodia, and now Lon Nol literally was begging for help, for his army was too weak to save itself.”

Then: “as far as the Nixon administration was concerned, the Khmer Rouge were a puppet militia of the Hanoi government – if the war with Hanoi could be settled, the civil war in Cambodia would end with it. It was with this logic in mind that the US signed the Paris Peace Accords with Hanoi on January 27, 1973. US troops would leave Vietnam, Vietnamese troops would leave Cambodia and a cease-fire would take effect between North and South Vietnam.”

So, according to the site you linked to, the Nixon administration totally screwed the pooch in Cambodia and then hoped that the “puppet militia” would dissolve with the end of the war in Vietnam.

So… How exactly are the “leftists” to blame? Seems to me the main reason that the Khmer Rouge came to power was because of a war-mongering administration’s misguided illegal invasion of a sovereign country.

Sounds familiar.

Not 1975…

Right up there with those 16 words in the state of the union. That seems a fair standard- whattaya think, asshat?

What’s there to hope for? Bush is doing a fine job of mucking it up on his own.

“Scooter Libby told Judy Miller, told Judy Miller, that it was the vice president‘s inquiry about a uranium deal in Africa that led to Joe Wilson‘s trip. This is the first time we‘ve heard out of the vice president‘s office, even secondhand, an admission, a confession that that trip was because of a question raised by the veep, not because Mrs. Wilson, Valerie Plame, thought her husband needed a junket.”

Looking forward to your prognostication though. I know your leftist fellow-travelers made similiar claims about OBL being found “right before the election” too…

Oh, heh, your tinfoil hat is starting to come off….

LOL

I.
Don’t.
Care.

BUSH WANTS WAR WITH IRAN.

Did you read that? They WANT war, and at Israel’s behest.

The unholy alliance of neo-con warmongering, defense contractor profiteering and righ-wing religous zealots in America and Israel determined to wipe out the Muslim infidels.

I feel sick

Enjoy the electoral wilderness, boys. Blaming liberals is not going to rewrite history or turn back the clock, except in your angry, angry dreams.
