The 'war' is tough? Iwo Jima was tough. D-day was tough. Vietname was tough. This peacekeeping operation is not "tough" by historical standards. Its as if many people - dems and WH included - have forgotten what "tough" really is.
EEE: Reid land scandals the biggest since Whitewatergate
The worst mistake since Vietnam was electing the dems to power in 2006! Period!
What a nitwit!
reid....biggest waste of a human being in 30 years
Reid wouldn't know how to fight his way through a wet paper bag. But he knows a lot about Viet Nam and Iraq and how they could be similar. Just ask him.
His similarity of the two conflicts is that he believes in retreat and defeat rather than victory.
Reid seems to have wandered off the reservation...I thought the Democrat talking point was that the Iraq war was the worst foreign policy blunder in all of American history.
Vietnam we lost 55,000 men in 7 years while in Iraq we have lost 3000 men in 4 years.
Vietnam we only instituted a intrim gummit while Iraq has a fully functioning soverign gummit.
The only parellel is that the Dims want to surrender.
Pray for W and Our Troops
I saw this interview on CNN earlier.
Reid actually said that this was worse than Vietnam, not the worse since Vietnam.
This statement from Senator Reid, a Democrat Leader who doesn't even know what the Senate voted for on Saturday. Credibility = Zero.
Vietnam and Iraq are not at all comparable in terms of tactics, strategy, or the reasons we went to either country in the first place. The thing that's comparable is the defeatist attitude of the Democrats in both wars. We lost in Vietnam because we lost the political will to win. And by "we" I mean the Democrats in Congress. This is what the nation gets by returning the Dems to control in Congress -- a replay of Vietnam-style defeatism, and a nihilistic view of American's role in the world.
Reid is wrong. The worst foreign policy mistakes since VietNam were...
1) Not attacking Iran after they took over our embassy in 1979. This emboldened terrorists.
2) Not attacking Hezbollah in 1983 after they bombed the Marine Barracks in Beirut. This emboldened terrorists.
3) Retreating from Mogudishu instead of pounding the city into the ground. This emboldened terrorists.
4) Not killing Bin Laden in the late 1990's, especially after the attack on the USS Cole, when we had multiple opportunities to do so. This emboldened terrorists.
Going after Saddam Hussein, instead of holding back (again), was one of the few times we actually got something right. By doing so we have attracted thousands of terrorists into Iraq, like a giant bug zapper, and killed over 20,000 of them.
Harry Reid is a functionally illiterate stooge.
Reid can go to hell.
rice crispies the worst cereal since Viet Nam
TET was the beginning of the end for the NVA & VC in '68, that is until the Cronkite's and Reid's of that time painted it as our defeat.
The Democrat Party, cheering for the enemy since 1968 (at least)
Dems demanding surrender. What's new?
