'Iraq is not VietNam, so stop saying that!'
Apparently, a nerve has been hit. The whole thrust of Leslie 'Wolf' Blitzer's show today is seeing how many people he can cram into an hour to say that Iraq is not George W. Bush's VietNam.
Oh, and The Plame Affair isn't Bush's Watergate, either. That would be the circumstances surrounding the August 6 PDB and the lies that got us into Bush's non-VietNam in the first place. Just so you know.

I think that Iraq is worse than Viet Nam. The reason? In Viet Nam, at least we were fighting an opposing army. Granted, there were massive numbers of civilian casualties in places like My Lai and other villages. However, it was the American Army against the army of the Viet Cong.
In Iraq, it is the American Army (and Marines) fighting directly against a civilian population. That makes us direct accomplices in the mass murder of hundreds of innocent civilians, who had no connection with Saddam Hussein, other than living within the same borders. This is a monumental human tragedy in the making....

The only difference I can see is that Bush went to Iraq.
