Bush Compares Iraq With Vietnam
Dan Froomkin reports for The Washington Post: "President Bush entered risky rhetorical territory yesterday, likening the war in Iraq to Vietnam....Bush tried to turn the Vietnam analogy on its head, arguing that the US withdrawal led to disaster there and emboldened American enemies around the globe. He even went so far as to argue that present-day terrorists like Osama bin Laden are inspired by the turning of American public opinion against the war in Vietnam."
