"The media want this war to be perceived as another VietNam so they will slant any story any way they can to foster their own agenda."

Agreed.

We have Fallujah under siege and could take and/or destroy the city in less than a day.

So how is this like Vietnam?

The only Vietnam analogy I see that I will comment on is the fact that, as in Vietnam, the enemy is not just coming from inside Iraq, and they're not staying in Iraq all the time. I.e., Laos, Cambodia, etc. fed the NVA and Vietdung then retreated to the border regions, the same as we are experiencing from Iraq's neighbors (Syria, Iran, Egypt, etc.) as well as mooselimb nations from afar. THAT is dangerous.

For all his faults, FDR didn't butt into the seige of Aachen. I can say that it's less and less like WW2...

--"So How is This Story Like VietNam?"--

It 's Like "Vietnam" if our Politicians attempt to Direct our Military.

Hopefully, our Military is allowed to Execute It's Options!

So Far, There are NO "Options" "Un-Vetted" by our Military!
