He started looking for the ejector seat handle in Vietnam as soon as he got elected the first time. US troop draw-downs started in 1969, and 90% had left before it was even clear the Paris Accords would be signed. To the extent that South Vietnam was sold down the river, that happened on 8th May 1972, more than a month before the Watergate break-in, when Nixon made a number of concessions to Le Duc Tho, giving the talks renewed momentum.<br /><br />Hard to imagine how a third-rate burglary in 1972 could have forced troop withdrawals in 1969...<br /><br />Bromancer gets an F for logic.FrankDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-50447102757216676502018-02-08T10:06:09.475+11:002018-02-08T10:06:09.475+11:00Confronted by these challenges Joe, the pond alway...Confronted by these challenges Joe, the pond always favours a simple stoning of the Monty Python kind ...perhaps Peel street on a Sunday at the intersection where the post office allows stones to be flung down from on high ...dorothy parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00816807935021738560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-6825130417799167582018-02-08T09:52:14.354+11:002018-02-08T09:52:14.354+11:00So DP, can you advise on how the Church will treat...So DP, can you advise on how the Church will treat one who has flouted the fundamental law of the Church? (I have been told that they are very much against adultery). Do they parade the sinner down the main street, in sackcloth and ashes? Do they denounce him from the pulpit, declaring that no one may vote for him? Or is the Church a forgiving institution, which makes allowance for human frailties?

What he's displaying is way past KoolAid insanity, he's actually become, in his own head anyway, Donald Trump.<br /><br />But getting on to Carners Barners for a moment: the "personal life" of all and every politician is a legitimate public matter. So long as parliamentarians follow the Burke dictum and therefore make judgements, rules and laws that set public morality and modes of behaviour, then we the Public, have a right to know just what they believe and whether they genuinely act according to their beliefs. And that, to reiterate, requires that their "private life" is, at all times, public knowledge.<br /><br />But especially with pollies like Barners who drag their family out into public scrutiny at political events and party occasions. They can't have it both ways: either they can drag marriage partners and children out into the public attention as an act of political propaganda, or their "private lives" are strictly private and family is off limits.GrueBleennoreply@blogger.com
