Like Vietnam, only different…

davies082307.jpg

Iraq’s only similarity to Vietnam is that our leaders are still trying to sell it to their public many years into the conflict. As if one more hackneyed cheerleading session is what is going to make a couple hundred million people come to their senses. And in his speech yesterday to the VFW, Bush was inexplicably still trying to sell the Vietnam war, saying that if we’d stuck to it, we’d have won. Just like Iraq. So simple.

I’m sure Vietnam Vets everywhere are saying ‘what does he mean, “we?”‘

    I have to agree with you on this one Matt. If there are Mass
    killings when we do pull out it's only because we created it.What a shame.

    And STAY AWAY FROM VIET NAM!

    This is pure genius! History begins anew every day! We have nothing to learn from the past. We have never faced a worldwide fascist ideology before! Abandoning an ally in their time of need can't possibly have negative consequences. I smell Pulitzer!

    So, Saddam == worldwide fascist ideology???

    Jeez, that's one that even the Bushies haven't thought of!
