Well it seem pretty incomprehensible back then too.

At any rate, we best get use to the usage again as it looks like it is about to come back into fashion. I only hope that the GOP is proactive in explaining the case. If they had the b@lls they would bring up just what the media did after Tet. They will not, though...too bad.

If I didn't know better I would think the Democrats are waging a HOLY WAR against President Bush by calling this VIETNAM!!! With a McCain *sskisser thrown in for good measure. It started out with fat TED KENNEDY this morning all the way to Eleaner Clift and Joe Biden this afternoon. The SAME CREEPS showing up on talk shows, as usual. You would think they were hoping for a FAILURE! Now if we hear CHRIS MATTHEWS tonight we will know FOR SURE.

Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, warned yesterday that the United States is now "dangerously close" to losing control on the ground in Iraq.

"We're talking not only about the insurgency, partly by outsiders, but also about a religious dynamic that is very difficult to deal with," Hagel said in an interview. "You have the most combustible elements at play here. If it all blows at the same time, Abizaid knows that we probably will not get control of it again."

Sen. Joseph R. Biden (D-Del.), the ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, said the situation in Iraq could begin to resemble the war in Vietnam if the United States does not move quickly to deploy a "fairly large" number of American forces.

"This is a prescription for disaster," Biden said. "We can't handle a two-front war" against both insurgents in the Sunni triangle and disaffected young men loyal to Sadr. "It could end up as another Vietnam if we don't get ahold of this situation now."
