I would visualize things coming to me. It would just make me feel better. Visualization works if you work hard. That’s the thing. You can’t just visualize and go eat a sandwich. Jim Carrey.

Well, “we’ve lost Cronkite.” Unfortunately, Vietnam dragged on another five years after that…

He (North) was not even convicted of purgery(SIC).
comment by Caelb/Caleb

Of course, he wasn’t convicted of “purgery,” because there is no such crime nor such word in the English language to the best of my knowledge. Ever heard of “perjury?”

You would be wrong on your assumption of my education.

And your attitude is very typical. I make one post asking if your criticism goes both ways and agree that North was convicted of crimes and you begin with the personal attacks.

“What proof do you have that FOX news is not legite?”

“He was not even convicted of purgery…”

“I see a ton of criticism here of North ,Bush, and his administration. But were you also critical of Clinton, Murtha, Kennedy for the convictions they have.”

What proof do you have that FOX news is not legite?

The 3 things North was convicted of hardly makes him a “war criminal”.
He was not even convicted of purgery. I will agree with you that he was convicted of certain things but that is why he lost his job and his rep for a very long time.

I see a ton of criticism here of North ,Bush, and his administration. But were you also critical of Clinton, Murtha, Kennedy for the convictions they have.

WHy should we listen to any of them.

Oh my God!!!!!!! I can’t believe the Ollie actually told the truth about something. Apparently he didn’t get a fresh glass of that “Kool Aid” most Republicans have been drinking. Come on Ollie, where the lies and destortion, where’s the twisting of facts, where the guy that I’m use to seeing on TV. This must be a fake Ollie, the one that came out of the alien pod that only looks like the real Ollie North.

There is no way Ollie North disagrees with the standard Republican talking points, he must have been drunk. The thing I really can’t believe is that Faux News didn’t fire him for speaking the truth.

[...] North, like Kennedy earlier today in his Iraq speech at the National Press Club, compared President Bush’s escalation plan to Lyndon Johnson’s disastrous Vietnam escalation four decades ago. Said North: “My concern is that incremental increase in US troop strengthâ€¦sounds eerily like Lyndon Johnsonâ€™s plan to save Vietnam in the 60s by gradual escalation as a way not to lose.” [...]

“Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it”-Santayana.

1967: it was called escalation.

2007: it is now called a surge.

No difference.

What do they say – even a broken clock is right twice.
I despise Ollie North, the Iran-Contra war criminal and felon; I don’t understand why he is given any legitimacy on TV — oh yeah, it’s Fox; they aren’t legitimate — but even he sees that this is wrong. Even he sees that Bush is committing our military to a lost cause .
But, he has just lost his audience in Bush because Georgie listens only to those who agree with him.

Poor LVL drew the short straw and had to try to bug us on this thread – not another troll in sight. They’re all over Ted Kennedy! Oops, I said the K word, now they will be all over this comment too – let’s see how long it takes:
