Bush Compares Iraq to Vietnam
He Says Pullout Would Be Disastrous

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 22 -- President Bush defended his ongoing military commitment in Iraq by linking the conflict there to the Vietnam War, arguing Wednesday that withdrawing U.S. troops would lead to widespread death and suffering as it did in Southeast Asia three decades ago.

"One unmistakable legacy of Vietnam is that the price of America's withdrawal was paid by millions of innocent citizens whose agonies would add to our vocabulary new terms like 'boat people,' 'reeducation camps' and 'killing fields,' " Bush told a receptive audience at the Veterans of Foreign Wars national convention.
The president's decision to draw an explicit link between Iraq and Vietnam comes as he seeks to marshal support for his war policy among Republicans and to blunt calls from Democratic members of Congress for a drawdown of U.S. forces in the coming months. Although his comments played well among the veterans here -- the speech was interrupted with repeated cheers and applause -- the references to the Vietnam conflict, which remains a divisive, emotional issue for many Americans, prompted strong criticism from Democrats.

"The president is drawing the wrong lesson from history," said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.).

1. When Democrats mention Vietnam, its good; Republicans: bad, "divisive".
2. Bush also mentioned the lessons of WW2 efforts to rebuild Germany and Japan, neither mentoned in the article.
3. Mr. Kennedy: how is the lesson of millions dying if we leave too early "the wrong lesson from history"?

Now we KNOW Bush is an idiot. What a clown

[glockmail]

How so?

[diuretic]

Using the Vietnam War as a reference.

When Democrats do it they get praised. But putting that issue aside, why does referencing history make you an idiot?

I have three possible responses when right-wingers start whining about liberal media bias.....

1. Get over it, you pussies. Stop whining. You sound like a bunch of girls.
2. Awwww.....life is so unfair for you brave, crusading conservatives. But do the best you can, despite this blatant liberal bias in the media. Fight the good fight. God will reward you in the end.
3. Ha, ha, ha......that's right. The deck is stacked against you. You can't win. Why don't you just kill yourselves?

Which do you prefer?

Praised by Who?


Look this Idiot whined every time someone made the Vietnam referance and then after years of doing it he makes the referance himself and as if that wasnt stupid enough he makes it in such a way to sugest we should have stayed in Vietnam.

It was a massively Stupid thing to do.

This is your president with out Rove telling him what to say.

Its going to get really bizzare.

I don't think it's a bad comparision. Stay in Iraq or look what will happen. Example Vietnam. Course his admin has blasted others for using the Vietnam reference so it is a little hypocritical.

It doesn't, prima facie. What make someone look like an idiot is their demonstrated misunderstanding of it.

Are you kidding me? Libs constrantly p*ss and moan about the one TV network that doesn't regularly espouse a liberal bias. And wouldn't even debate on it. And then there's the lib hatred of conservative talk radio. Even to the point of trying to use the Fairness Doctirne to cripple it.

The party of free speech- not!

You only have as much free speech as you can afford to pay for.
