The Carpetbagger Report:
With the president’s upcoming report to Congress on “progress” in Iraq just a few weeks away, the White House is, once again, preparing a new public-relations offensive to bolster support for Bush’s war policy. It starts today with a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ annual convention, followed by another address next week to the American Legion, which will reportedly offer a “broader context” to discouraging news out of Iraq.
Apparently, this context includes an odd comparison between the wars in Iraq and Vietnam.
As he awaits a crucial progress report on Iraq, President Bush will try to put a twist on comparisons of the war to Vietnam by invoking the historical lessons of that conflict to argue against pulling out.
On Wednesday in Kansas City, Missouri, Bush will tell members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars that “then, as now, people argued that the real problem was America’s presence and that if we would just withdraw, the killing would end,” according to speech excerpts released Tuesday by the White House.

Let the clown do his act .. as the clown in any circus gets laughed "AT" not with. :)
By drawing comparisons to Vietnam, I mean, Vietnam was so popular by so many!!
It will take years, possibly decades to undo Iraq, the budget deficit and the Constitutional erasing by this Administration ...
don't think Shrub and Laura will be doing the party circuit after Jan 2008-they are nuclear waste.
LOL, the Gerbil has done his circus act for 6 years. And look for the other countries to exclude the Gerbil in fixing Iraq. They are going to go around him.
