MONTPELIER, VT.—The state that has lost the most troops per capita became the first to pass a resolution calling on Congress and the president to immediately withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq. On Feb. 13, the ghosts of war linked Vermont’s snow-covered hills to a bloodied and foreign land. Many of the lawmakers, seated in a tight horseshoe under a high… return to article

Reader Comments (8)Page 1 of 1 pages“I did not mean disrespect,” said Rep. Joseph Krawczyk, who sat with his hands on his lap during the applause. The bearded and craggy Republican was a career soldier and is a Vietnam War veteran with a daughter on her third tour in Iraq. “I know from personal experience the effect of a message like this [can have] on our armed forces ... The words say, ‘We can’t win.’ ”
You can’t win ‘em all.
This Rep. Krawczyk sounds like a sore loser who can’t admit defeat when it is evident the war is lost. I suppose he supports the war regardless of it’s criminality and simply can’t stand the thought of losing another war? How do people like this get elected?
Posted by David in Canuckistan on Feb 16, 2007 at 11:51 AM David, what are you talking about ? One was elected President and there’s Madman McCain, ad nauseum. Many Americanos are MORONOS aka Scorpy Doobie and WTH and Miz TexASS.
Posted by blondemike on Feb 16, 2007 at 3:32 PM Mike, is that another ironic rhetorical question? Please forgive me for asking but ...
I quoted a portion of the article and commented on it. Please explain exactly what don’t you understand and I will be happy to enlighten you.
Posted by David in Canuckistan on Feb 16, 2007 at 7:02 PM David, I already answered you, am not repeating myself again.
Posted by blondemike on Feb 17, 2007 at 4:05 PM By refering me to your previous answer you are repeating yourself.
Thank you for the clarification and my apology for my misunderstanding.
Posted by David in Canuckistan on Feb 17, 2007 at 6:24 PM You can’t stop the war hippies. Saddam is dead and gone.Socialism in Iraq is dead and gone. The only problem left is the Sunni terrorists. As our troops kill them in ever greater numbers Iraqis have begun to expel Sunnis and drive the problem back into the desert. Iraq will be left with a Kurdish and Shia population. Iraq will split into two seperate countries and there is nothing that you can do about it.
Posted by texasindependent on Feb 18, 2007 at 1:33 PM We ARE in the process of stopping it, wannabe white boy. Saddam wasn’t a socialist and socialism is coming to Iraq, all the US property will be nationalized and returned to its rightful owners, the Iraqi people, not the Dick Cheney corporate fascist thieves. Oh by the way, the Sunnis are one-third of the Iraqi population and even US Army genocidalists will not be able to kill them all and the Shia are allied with IRAN. So are the Kurds. Not good news for the Empire.By the way, your people are EMBRACING socialism in EVERY country in South America and the Sandinos are back in power in Nicaragua. Colombia has the ONLY rightist government in South America and they are going to fall. As Chomsky noted this is the biggest threat to the US Empire ever. And for a stinky Cheecano old guy like you who has spent HIS ENTIRE ADULT LIFE ON THE SOCIALIST ARMY PAYROLL TO TALK ABOUT FREE ENTERPRISE IS LIKE THE TOWN DRUNK LECTURING ON SOBRIETY. TEX, YOU PERSONALLY SMELL LIKE A MILLION UNWIPED BEHINDS. EVERYONE LAUGHS AT YOU, YOU ARE EVEN MORE PATHETIC THAN SCORPY DOOBIE AKA MASTER BATES.
This is the third thread today where I’ve whipped your wannabe white boy butt.
