Who’s Advising Now?
Sparxafire!
Your president has decided to change his mind and speak about the war in Iraq in comparison to other wars throughout U.S. history. I am happy the president demonstrates that is is still able to change his mind about something – anything at all. Of course, the press has dutifully scrounged up several pieces of footage where the president is shown rejecting comparisons to other wars as innappropriate or whatever.
So the jist of this new comparison idea seems to be that we abandoned Vietnam. We coulda/shoulda “won” in Vietnam and the way to prevent the Iraq war from turning into another Vietnam is to stay, stay, stay! Won what in Vietnam, exactly? Or, I might ask, what did we lose in Vietnam? Was it worth it? To this day, does anybody actually understand what the hell the Vietnam war was all about? …Besides wildly inappropriate response to someone else’s local headache?????
And whom is Bush trying to convince with this comparison? Certainly not young people, who don’t even remember Vietnam… but I guess he’s trying to evoke some kind of logic out of the baby boomers who remember Vietnam? Who advised your president that this would be a good idea? Is this what life is going to be like with Rove gone? We’re through the looking glass, people!
