Sure he was a crook, but quite likeable. I think it was that shifty
expression of his. Plus of course you knew where you stood with him.

Interestingly, the Chinese seemed to have a lot of time for him.

But ... I was really concerned for the fate of the planet when Reagan got
in.
I had assumed this ex-actor was thick enough to knee-jerk and press the
button if trouble turned up somewhere.
My opinion totally reversed after coming across that appalling joke he
cracked, about outlawing Russia and sending the nukes in. He clearly had
things in perspective. I'd no worries about him from then on.
A decent guy and missed!.

Well, I'm gonna stop speechifying, and just point to this guy. ;-)

But, what the hell is a "Judas Goat"? I've tried looking it up, and
all I get is links to some book that's for sale, and naval academy
politics and witchcraft among the Masons, all of which seem to have
come up in the search engine, but nothing that says "A Judas Goat
is a ..."

Thanks!

The NY Times had an article on Sunday, estimating the IQs of W and
Kerry based on available test data. They put Kerry at about 120, and W
in the mid-120s.

I just rolled some dice, threw a dart and spun around 3 times in my chair.
Based on this data, I say Kerry's is about 103.2 and W's about 101.7 I
suspect that my numbers are as good as the NY times. Both people have
been trained to be light on their feet in debate like situations.

IQ doesn't do any good if you aren't willing to listen to anybody except
a small circle of 'experts'. GW closed down any negative feedback early
in his administration. All he sees now is positive feedback. That just
doesn't seem safe to me.

This is my reading of the recent Suskind article in the New York Times.

Well, I for one stand as living proof that a high IQ is no proof against
foolishness. ;-)

Please explain how Nixon " Ended the VietNam war" ?
You make it sound like he got elected and immediately
pulled the plug on the war machine. He did no such thing.
This man was responsible for dropping more bombs
in SE asia than the total amount used in WW2 and
the rotton things are still going off to this very day,
killing and maming people and that stinking agent
orange shit is causing massive birth defects in children
born recently. Rivers and crop growing land are still
poisoned to this day causing cancers and illnesses
and brain damage in children.
A massive eco disaster and you talk of EPA and Nixon!

Over 4 million mums, dads and kids murdered for what pupose?
Yes Nixon is a "Bad guy."

What amazes me, is why Vietnamese suicide martyrs did
not go to the USA to do what Osama did or something
similar, or even just make disruptive attacks on reservoirs,
bridges, power pylons which are such easy targets.
What forgiving people those Vietnamese are! Their
family members die young of blood cancers and their
children are born with brain damage.
EPA and Nixon, that sticks in the throat, mate.

One can only assume the war was reported differently in the US than it
was in the rest of the world. ;-)

By pulling all our troops out.

It was Kennedy who started that particular war, and Johnson who lied
to Congress to massively escalate it.

Over a seven year period? What was the rush? And don't forget about the
illegal invasion of Cambodia.

It was Kennedy who started that particular war, and Johnson who lied
to Congress to massively escalate it.
Hehe- they were trying to prevent Eisenhower's "domino effect"- a long
standing government national security policy that had become dogma in
the '60's. There was no other choice to be made at the time. That war
was going to end after 1968, by which time the hopelessness of the
situation was more than obvious, no matter who succeeded Johnson.

I suppose you could view it that way! Just coincidentally, though, the
Viet Cong were swarming into Saigon from the north. The "pull out"
merely coincided with that invasion. :-}
You *do* remember those scenes of the choppers carrying out that mad
scramble of a roof-top rescue from the embassy, don't you?? '75 I
think it was...

Was he the guy in office when we lost? I was in Thailand at the time,
so don't remember much about politics - just one day, they said, "OOps!
Everybody's going home tomorrow!"

"Lost"?? You can't use that word in this context in this newsgroup,
Rich. Remember the good folks here like Jim Thompson and his blood
pressure problem! It was simply a 'tactical pull-out' ;-)

Well, it didn't work. He got Vietnam pregnant, and the Iraq invasion
is its bastard son.
