President Bush has compared the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to earlier US wars against Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. He spoke Wednesday at the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Kansas City. The president warned that a US withdrawal from Iraq could result in a similar outcome to what happened in Vietnam and Cambodia after the withdrawal of US troops. He urged critics of the current war to "learn something from history" and "resist the allure of retreat." -Democracynow.org
I cannot believe he had the nuts to bring this up! What an idiot!
First, Someone NEEDS to either check his speeches or fire the guy who writes them.
Secondly, Why would you dare compare the two wars? The only real similarities I see is that troops are being killed for pointless efforts, and the presidents are/were freaking bastards!
Thirdly, (and most importantly) How can Bush get all self riotous WHEN HE DODGED THE VIETNAM DRAFT??!
I heard that he lost a lot of his support when he made that speech. Serves him right.
