    Everyone and every news source lies at some point. It doesn't mean they are not fundamentally truthful and accurate overall though.

    ~ Some state opinion as fact. They mislead the public with a political agenda. Much of the "news" we receive is actually more editorial than actually unbiased reporting.

    Really lady? You can't tell the difference between the words "ridiculous" (what I wrote) and "religious"???

    If you can't then this calls into question EVERYTHING you've ever posted here regardless of the claimed "sources".

    Just this point for now. "Patriots" in the Viet Cong had to become Communist. And no
    "Independence" person or party is tolerated within ANY Communist nation. You cannot
    even run a Scout group unless it's under Party guidelines. Take note of what happened
    to the Catholic Church in China, and their new Dali Lama.
    But all that 'independence' stuff ended with the Tet Offensive. The South didn't rise up
    so the North took over. I had a friend who lived there - he spoke about the capture of
    Hue by the Communists. They dug a trench through the city and buried many Sth Viets
    alive. That famous photo of the girl burned by napalm was wonderful propaganda to the
    Communists - she was caught in the middle between Sth Viet air force and the Communists.
    As a result, Sth Viet didn't become like Sth Korea, it came more like Nth Korea - liberated.
    Give me Agent Orange any day.

    People ignore the obvious about the Vietnam War.

    The "VietCong" (you know the guerrillas) played almost no role in fighting the U.S. and South Vietnamese after the 1968 Tet Offensive. The Tet Offensive virtually wiped out the VietCong. From 1968 to the end of the war almost all the fighting for the communist side was done by the NVA (North Vietnamese Army). An army which was lavishly equipped with weapons by the Soviets and Chinese.

    In 1975 it was NOT a bunch of pajama wearing guerrillas that smashed through the gates of the South Vietnamese government buildings. It was tanks manned by trained regulars.

    The world is in awe of the Syrian people, and how they were able to fight off: The US, UK, Fr, Turkey, Israel, KSA, Qatar, and Jordan. They were the nations that supported the genocidal terrorists for their own self serving reasons. In the end they will all get their just rewards - pity us. Nazi Germany comes to mind.

    Oh my gosh, for the first time you are actually right about something. Does this mean your credibility has gone up a step? I don't think so. It's still rock bottom.:thumbsdown:

    Assad being tolerant of Greek Orthodox "Christians" really won you over didn't he? I don't sell my soul so cheaply as you do.

    What a load of utter silliness.
    * How many American "patriots" are Communists? None? That's because they are not allowed to be.
    * Mikael Gorbatjov was "independent", as you call it. So was Boris Jeltsin and Lech Walesa. So is Vladmir Putin.

    Mote silliness.
    * You think "The South didn't rise up"? Maybe you didn't notice the Vietnamese kicked the U.S. out of their country. Here is the most famous photo of the Liberation of Saigon. Do you know what that flag is? It is the flag of the FNL.

    FNL.jpg



    Still more silliness
    * She was bombed by the American-backed South Viet air force. For your information napalm was an American creation. Neither the PAVN nor the FNL used such inhumane weaponry.

    So, let me get this straight ..... you think the U.S. isn't guilty of murdering Saddam Hussein and Col. Ghadafi? I say Bush Baby, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsford, Obama, and Hillary Clinton ought to be hung or shot for the murder of those two men. They are clearly GUILTY. What is your honest opinion of that?

    Myth alert !!
    Jordan and Israel never attacked the Syrian citizens.
    I saw proof that Israeli doctors treated Syrian children and Jordan never attacked or funded ISIS terrorists.

    You are not getting the point. There were two groups fighting the Americans
    1 - Communists (remember, this was in the Mao's big leap days when tens of
    millions of people were dying. And the Soviets shot anyone trying to escape
    their paradise.)
    1 - Independents who didn't want to be Communist but an independent Sth
    Vietnam.

    Some "Independents" were trotted out from time to time. At best they played
    no part in The Party after 1975, at worst they got a bullet in the back of the head.
    Think - this was a strictly Communist affair - supported by China and the USSR.
    You think they would kick the Americans out and allow the South to form any
    govt they like? They promised that, too.
    Sure, Putin can be a "patriot" but this is a different era.
    Stalin was a "patriot" but to get support in 1941 he had to appeal to Russian
    patriotism by allowing those people he once suppressed (ie church, intellectuals,
    artists, ethnic groups etc..) Stalin, like Ho Chi Minh was not a "patriot" - he was
    an internationalist Marxist.

    You're right! There's a lot more money to gain by selling one's soul to the terrorists who commit genocide, (assuming of course that they even have a soul to sell to terrorists), then to sell it to someone like Assad who is willing to make sacrifices to protect Syria's minorities and its secular and all inclusive way of life.

    I never said that Jordan and Israel attacked Syrian citizens, but like the US, UK, Fr., KSA, Qatar and Turkey, they were supporting those who did attack the Syrians. I believe that Israeli agents were killed with other agents a few years back, when Moscow had retaliated by bombing a headquarter in Syria. It is a proxy war, and it has to do with Syria's oil and gas as much as it has to do with the pipeline from Qatar.


    As for Jordan, it doesn't have the money to fund either ISIS or Al Nusra. The funding was coming from KSA, Qatar and from the oil stolen from Syria at Raqqa. Israel bought most of the oil, and it was using the genocidal Al Nusra to protect its border. They were treating them in hospitals, even though they were beheading minorities. Turkey was also treating them in hospitals, and today al Nusra under their new al Sham name, are in Idlib, and they seem to be one and the same with the FSA.

    As for treating Syrian children in Israeli hospitals - well, not according to Steven Ben-Nun of Israelinews live, who I consider a very compassionate and trustworthy person, and who also knows a great many people in Israel and Syria.

    Did Jordan ever build that Star Trek theme park that the king (a big Star Trek fan who had a non speaking walk on role in Star Trek: Voyager I think it was) had planned?

    No, those who didn’t want to be Communists and wanted an independent S.V. were those who were happy with being privileged under French occupation, Christians for the most part. They were not fighting the U.S.

    No again. It was the U.S. that promised to honour the whole reason they were there in the first place, that being overseeing democratic elections. Kicking out the Americans was necessary to allow the Vietnamese chose their leader by Democratic process. I really do not think you know much about Vietnam.

    Ho Chi Minh was the biggest patriot Vietnam had ever had. Do you not know what role he played during the French and American occupation of his country? Minh did not foist Communism on the Vietnamese people. It was Communist efforts that freed Vietnam from the French and from the U.S. Communism was embraced by the population of Vietnam and that is exactly why the U.S. thwarted the elections of 1956.

    Sure. And that's why the peace loving people of North Korea support their patriotic
    Dear Leaders in their resistance to the imperialist Capitalists and their lackeys. They
    stand shoulder to shoulder in their patriotic defense of the working class against the
    oppressive proletariat.
    South Korea was supposed to have elections too. They too could have chosen
    peace and unity over oppression and Capitalism. Sad that.
    Seems Hong Kong is next to be liberated.

    Lenin said, in his famous book, "What is to be done" that Communists (in this case,
    the German Communists) should not declare themselves Communists as that won't
    help their cause. Instead they should infiltrate and work through existing groups and
    organizations. This is why Marxists are so prevalent in trade unions and "peace"
    movements.

    And this is why elections were delayed in South Vietnam. They certainly were not
    held in North Vietnam - at least, not free ones. By now, a free South Vietnam would
    approximate the free Taiwan and South Korea - and elections could be undertaken
    with an educated population. South Vietnamese had this "liberation" thing figured
    out for themselves by the late 1960's.

    About 450,000 Arabs attend Israeli hospitals each year - some as patients and
    some as visitors.
    There's no point in attacking civilians
    1 - it's counter productive (world's media, local opposition etc..)
    2 - it wastes your ammunition and effort (you aren't killing the enemy)

    Lol, what a joke. The Syrian regime is bankrupt, and Russia is getting fed up with ASSad. The government will never control Syria like it used to.
