WWII Veteran debunks WWII/Iraq Comparison





Tom Mahoney stuck it to Neil Cavuto yesterday as he didn't go along with President Bush's idea that Iraq and WWII are similar in any way.

Mahoney: "When you try to compare any war to another, you can't do it ... this was supposed to be over a couple months ago." There's "no comparison to any part of World War II..There is no comparison to any part of WWII..."

Cavuto asked for his thoughts on Cindy Sheehan and Tom played the the chicken hawk card.

Mahoney: "Well, my thoughts in every service man, if you didn't participate, you shouldn't talk about it. If you didn't get out there with the men, don't take it second hand that we're winning. Be on the front line with the men. See what they think..."

Newshounds: "Cavuto wondered if Mahoney thought, "most of the men and women who are in Iraq right now are doing a noble thing and are doing the right thing?" Mahoney said, "No, I really don't." Cavuto, "Really!" Mahoney, "I'm against it." That should have been settled when we invaded the first time....read on"

1. So how long before the swift boating begins

on this guy?

Great comments, especially the one about how we've pulled out of lots of places before, such as Vietnam and "are they doing all right?" I notice Cavuto dodged that question.

2. It was so amazing! Watching the crowd was like watching alice....

Through the looking glass.

Bush and co stood there glazed eyes open and said "We must resolve the terrorist conflict. We can't let osama bin laden or zaraqwhi take the oil reserves and train more terrorists. We must stay course"

It was hilarious, because I could tell none of those WWII veterans believed him except for the oil part! They just laughed and stared, trying to falsely applaud the speech and then talked about this disgrace!

LOL! He actually said that Bin Laden would get the oil!!!!! MY GOD!!!!! If the Halliburton just got its grubby hands off of Iraq's resources, the violence would start to subside and the troops would be home!!!!!

But hey, its hard work stealing. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

3. As far as

I can tell, President Shit for Brains is trying to equate the two because WWII was the last war everyone agreed upon, more or less. He wants us to think they are the same so he can be a 'great leader' in times of national crisis. As opposed to presiding over a 'tempest in a tea pot'......
ANYONE who paid attention to world politics and such knew there was no way Saddam was anything more that the mayor of Bahgdad after Gulf I. Wih economic sanctions, the no fly zone and the UN inspectors, he was no threat to anyone, let alone the US.
With this guy, it's like watching a tree that is rotted out. On the outside, it appears to be a solid, stable tree. On the inside, nothing. The least amount of external stress will topple the tree. i think we are seeing that now......
