People forget that it was John Kennedy that got us into Viet Nam. Thanks to the liberal media, we're rarely told that the Democrats were in charge of the US during much of the Vietnam era.

Teddy is of the impression that the Sunni dictators of the surrounding Sunni countries actually want the Sunni Arabs in Iraq to vote.
Assad and Mubarak, to name but two of them, are not nice guys, don't believe in democracy, and would be among the first to stick Iraqi Sunnis in prisons if they got the chance.
Kennedy and his staff are beyond "stupid". Must be the untreated syphilis and alcoholism in that gang.

Let's finish the imperfect analogy, Ted.
Iraq is George W. Bush's Vietnam
as
Vietnam is John F. Kennedy's Vietnam.
vs.
Chappaquiddick is Teddy Kennedy's Vietnam

Ted Kennedy; an army of pompous phrases assaulting the landscape in search of a coherent thought.

Iraq is "clearly is George Bush's Vietnam," said Kennedy, speaking on CBS's "Face The Nation" program. Let's tell it like it is here, Democrats are masters of the art of manipulating public opinion by words -- ala Goebbels "tell a lie frequently enough and it becomes truth" -- Teddy believes that he can talk the worst case scenario into existence by simply stating it, advocating it, etc. Mr. Kennedy and the Democrat party perfected Goebbels opus and realized the art of creating "quagmires" (no, not Chappaquidick) during Vietnam.
This democRAT strategy of talking the worst into existence is currently manifest in Ted's call to "quagmire". The democRAT collective guilt is further illustrated when, in 2001, the Democrats blamed Bush for "talking down the economy" (simply classic projection) and then spending the next 4 years doing exactly that; namely, talking down the economy.
Democrats are the classic grifters who are so warped and guilt ridden by their grifts that they accuse everyone else of doing precisely what they are doing...It would be funny if it wasn't so pathologically frightening.

"The defeat of John Kerry, who was the Vietnam era incarnate, is evidence that Americans don't want to be dragged into all that again. America voted against framing this thing as another Vietnam. Kerry couldn't get people to buy the concept, even with the media and academia and the glitterati pulling out all the stops to make them buy it. But the Left remains thoroughly bought into it. Vietnam was their favorite time and they want to live it forever. An American success in Iraq will be a devastating blow to these people." Thanks. Bears repeating!

Too bad Rose and Joe didn't believe in abortion instead of lobotomies.

Yes, and to compare Iraq to Viet Nam demonstrates a
complete ignorance of history. The U.S. was involved in
Viet Nam for over a decade and lost 58,000 troops. The
causes and nature of the conflicts have no parallel. The
tragedy of Viet Nam is the mental rut that so many are
still stuck in -- members of the media, academe, and
politics of a certain age can't get over it and it affects
all their views on foreign policy in a very negative way.
Kerry and Kennedy are good examples. Some people of that
generation are caught in a time/space warp. It's time to
turn the page.

It's hard to keep up with the fast pace in political stylish emotional buzzwords the left likes to throw around.The more they throw these words around, the less power they have. Let's call it Crying Wolf Syndrome.
Besides, Vietnam does not have as much emotional impact to non-baby boomers. I was in kindergarten when we pulled out of Vietnam. I barely remember when Carter was elected. To most of the GenXers, Vietnam might as well be the Spanish-American war.
