Kennedy's claim: Is it fair to compare Iraq to Vietnam?

[MNJohnnie]

Perhaps if we had any "journalists" left in the USA, they might ask Senator Kennedy to justify his disgracefully partisan attack against President Bush in light of these comments he made in Sept 2002.

"The life and death issue of war and peace is too important to be left to politics. And I disagree with those who suggest that this fateful issue cannot or should not be contested vigorously, publicly, and all across America. When it is the people's sons and daughters who will risk and even lose their lives, then the people should hear and be heard, speak and be listened to.

But there is a difference between honest public dialog and partisan appeals. There is a difference between questioning policy and questioning motives. There are Republicans and Democrats who support the immediate use of force - and Republicans and Democrats who have raised doubts and dissented."

Yes, there is. For Senator Kennedy to engage in such nakedly partisan hyperbole and to politicize the Iraq War, as he did April 5th at the Bookings Institute, at the very moment US troops are engaged in battle demonstrates quite clearly that Senator Kennedy is a disgrace to his office, his state and himself.

Viet Nam and Iraq have this much in common... Ted Kennedy did not serve his country in either conflict.

[MNJohnnie]

There is another Poll farther down the page where they as if Kennedy is right to compare Iraq to Vietnam. Please Freep that one too! Thanks!

What the #$#$ does "fair" mean anyway?

The question should be "Is the comparison illustrative of any real parallels between Vietnam and Iraq?" and the answer is No.

[cripplecreek]

A more realistic question would have asked if its fair for liberals to lable every armmed conflict since the 60s "another Vietnam, or quagmire"?
