Yes, indeed. And that’s one reason I despise George W. Bush. He had all the lessons of Vietnam right in front of him. Yet he repeated LBJ’s foolish mistakes.
But what about Obama, Trump, and Biden? They were all just minor players in W’s tragedy. Just as Nixon and Ford were minor players in LBJ’s tragedy.
Other folks have mentioned the part the Democrats in Congress played. That’s true enough. But the buck stops at who set the tone, and made the rules. LBJ and W.
We can despise GW for his ‘ROP’ and for his attempt at nation building, but I dont fault him for taking out the OBL supporting Taliban and getting some payback for 911. If he had not, we might as well have elected Al Gore in 2000.
I believe firmly that from LBJ to Obama, we wanted to sow hate and discontent. After Trump they went after him, then started all over again with the LBJ-Obama then Biden policies. Sow dissent, spent mucho dinero, print more money mo money and mo money.
