George Bush is at it again.
In a speech to a veterans' group yesterday he compared Iraq to Vietnam, saying if the US withdraws from Iraq it will have the same, catastrophic effects for millions of Iraqis that withdrawing from Vietnam had for millions of Vietnamese.
I'd like to raise two points on that topic.
1. The US didn't voluntarily withdraw from Vietnam. They lost. Big time. Their troops were practically forced out and there were plenty of POWs left behind and 'forgotten' in the rush to get out of Saigon.
2. Comparing Vietnam to Iraq will open a Pandora's Box. Let's think about this for a second. Vietnam was, as most would agree, a war the US should never have gotten involved with in the first place. Bingo. So what you're saying, George, is that we should learn from SOME of the lessons f Vietnam, but not all of them. Right?? Right??
Get fucked.

He's an easy target for a reason - what a cockspank.
I'd love to say "hoisted by his own petard" but he does this shit so regularly that he appears not to be. Fuck.
