Here’s one from DiaperMedia™ blogger Claudia Rosett who’s journalist-in-residence at the right-wing Foundation for the Defense of Democracies that appeared in the Wall Street Journal in 2003 entitled “Is Iraq Like Vietnam? The Vietnamese should be so lucky.” <BR/><BR/>Believe it if you can that she actually wrote this: “For all Iraq’s many troubles, the Vietnamese should be so lucky as to have the opportunities now before the Iraqis.” Rosett asserted then that in today’s Iraq (circa 2003, mind you) “despite the complaints, there has been no stampede for the exits.” Actually, more than 2 million have fled Iraq since the war began with another 2 million displaced within the country. <BR/><BR/>You never know what sort of nonsense you'll find pouring over the old prognostications of the right-wing about Iraq.Red Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422305796158017027noreply@blogger.com
