Umm, how can the Iraq war be a worse mistake than Vietnam if it is less severe? Can we not measure the seriousness of a mistake by its impact anymore?
(On a side note, an easy way to guage how the war is going is by measuring how much time the media spends reporting on it. When things are bad, it's wall to wall coverage. When things start to turn around, the lights go out. The lack of big headlines in recent months is telling.)
And how can you say the war was knowingly entered into on false premises. Again, I'm sure you know this as just a simple truth easily grasped by anyone who was not born yesterday, but I can be a bit slow sometimes.
The claims of the president were supported by the British, French and Russian intelligence agencies. Even the opposition party expressed similar certitudes. As did the prior adminitration just a few years before. Am I to believe that all those other sources just messed up, but the Bush administration, on the other hand, knew it was all a crock. In their great wisdom they deiced to knowingly go to war on false premises. Not just any kind of war though. The type of war that would inevitably prove they were lying all along.
Makes perfect sense to me.
