piper17 1 #5 June 20, 2008 A large part (but not all agencies) of the federal government have been lying about the matter of POW/MIA since at least WWII, not just this Korean War...ooops, Conflict/Police Action. Think back about the POW/MIA hearings in Congress in which John Kerry played such a large role...more lying about this issue. Truman failed to pursue the matter after WWII, Eisenhower failed to adequately pursue it after the Korean War, and Nixon did the same after Vietnam. It was politically expedient to bury the entire matter.

piper17 1 #8 June 23, 2008 Just the opposite. Virtually everyone in the government has lied about this issue going back to WWII and coming up to the present time. It is NOT okay that this has been going on for more than 60 years. You seem to be unable to grasp the fact that it has been done by virtually everyone - Dems and Republicans alike and most people in this country don't seem to give a damn."A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition"...Rudyard Kipling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #13 June 24, 2008 DUDE.. you did NOT just claim to never bring up Clinton did you???? That is like totally whacked... every little thing you can.. you try to pin on Clinton... to justify something your Imperious Leader has done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnealtx 0 #14 June 24, 2008 QuoteDUDE.. you did NOT just claim to never bring up Clinton did you???? I claimed to not have screamed about it when it happened on here - perhaps you should have paid attention to the tense you used. QuoteThat is like totally whacked... every little thing you can.. you try to pin on Clinton... to justify something your Imperious Leader has done. Speaking of supporting an "Imperious Leader" - thanks for the (further) proof of the "Dems can do no wrong" defense...not to mention proving out GQ's assertion in the other thread.
