As a senator, the future vice president, now 76, was adamant that the U.S. had "no obligation, moral or otherwise, to evacuate foreign nationals," dismissing concerns for their safety as the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong swept south toward Saigon in 1975.
His position was in stark contrast to the one he took nearly 30 years later over Iraqi and Afghan interpreters who had worked with U.S. forces. "We owe these people," his then top foreign policy adviser Tony Blinken said in 2012. "We have a debt to these people. They put their lives on the line for the United States."

ReplyDeletePeople fleeing COMMUNISM would, almost by definition, vote "R" not "D". Can't have that. So the Dems screwed the people they helped betray (and whom they promised to help). Which, actually, should inform we on the Right as to their trustworthiness.
Really.
DeleteI agree with Nitzakhon. He just beat me to it. Vietnamese people that I was affiliated from church and work tended to vote a pretty straight Repub ticket. I had gained their trust and it was devastating their stories. Once ya gain their trust and respect ya almost can't shut them up... I still can't eat their dried fish.

Glad to get a second on my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteYes but unfortunately their children are being educated in our dishonest school system, as are the ones who stayed in Vietnam, come to think of it. Straight Communism.
