Last week, whilst in Vietnam, an idiot reporter asked President Bush a question, to the effect of, “Do you think that there is anything that the {failed} Vietnam war could teach you about how you should be handling the Iraqi war?”
I didn’t listen to his response because I was talking over it. My response was, “Of course. When there’s a war that needs to be won, best get in, win it decisively, and above all, do that fast before the democrats get a chance to get themselves elected to a majority in congress just to make sure you loose it.”
That should be the lesson we learned from Vietnam.
