Anybody care to calculate how many years it will take to lose 58,000 American troops in Iraq at the current rate?

Ellsberg should have been forced to cough up his sources for revealing military secrets like Judy Miller.

The big similarities are a bunch of back stabbing politicians and enemy sympathizers in the press.

"...spoke to a crowd of more than 400 people Saturday at a local high school in Maplewood.

Wow! That's a record-breaking crowd! /s

The primary similarity is that the war protestors are undermining our effort in Iraq, just as they did in Vietnam.

My God, when will the ridiculous comparisons to Vietnam finally be universally recognized as cheesy and the last refuge of tired, old and unapolagetic communists?

Why hasn't this clown been backed up against a wall and suffered a severe lead poisoning attack?

50 years ago we wouldn't have to ask why, just why so long.

There are NO simularities between the Vietnam war and the war on terror. Period.

The real pity for them is that Al Qaida and AQIZ are far too weak to pull off the 'Tet Offensive' style attacks that the MSM is clearly waiting for.

The trend is clear: terrorists no longer attack U.S. forces in any number. They save their strength for hotels and marketplaces. This gets them news coverage, and news coverage keeps them in the game.

Ironic that the French media has decided to stop showing images of burning cars, because they believe it incites more people to burn cars.

What, then, does covering suicide bombings of non-military targets do?

"MAPLEWOOD, N.J. -- The man who leaked secret documents about the Vietnam war indicating the federal government had deceived the public, said he sees a lot of similarities between that war and the one being waged in Iraq."

Yep! The demoRats are following the same dirty game plan they used during the Vietnam war. That's where the similarities are. But we have a new media here on the internet.... and they're not going to get away with it this time! Because their voices aren't the only one's heard anymore!

Enemy agents are welcome at our high schools while recruiters aren't. How French can we get?

Both had Anti-American propaganda from the commie/terrorists sycophantic press and Traitorous spineless micromanaging egomaniac elitists in the U.S. Congress.

Yes, I see some similarities.

...Ellsberg said both the Vietnam war and the war in Iraq were based on lies,...

Stinkin' liars anyway!

Bill Clinton: "If Saddam rejects peace, and we have to use force, our purpose is clear: We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."

Madeleine Albright, Clinton Secretary of State: "We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and the security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction."

Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Advisor and Classified Document Thief: "[Saddam will] use those weapons of mass destruction again as he has ten times since 1983."

Harry Reid: "The problem is not nuclear testing; it is nuclear weapons. ... The number of Third World countries with nuclear capabilities seems to grow daily. Saddam Hussein's near success with developing a nuclear weapon should be an eye-opener for us all."

Dick Durbin: "One of the most compelling threats we in this country face today is the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Threat assessments regularly warn us of the possibility that...Iraq...may acquire or develop nuclear weapons."

John Kerry: "If you don't believe...Saddam Hussein is a threat with nuclear weapons, then you shouldn't vote for me."

John Edwards: "Serving on the Intelligence Committee and seeing day after day, week after week, briefings on Saddam's weapons of mass destruction and his plans on using those weapons, he cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons, it's just that simple. The whole world changes if Saddam ever has nuclear weapons."

Nancy Pelosi: "Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology, which is a threat to countries in the region, and he has made a mockery of the weapons-inspection process."

Sens. Levin, Lieberman, Lautenberg, Dodd, Kerrey, Feinstein, Mikulski, Daschle, Breaux, Johnson, Inouye, Landrieu, Ford and Kerry in a letter to Bill Clinton: "We urge you, after consulting with Congress and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions, including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."

Perhaps we should have an AP alert sot that readers can have their Air-Sick bags at the ready.

The main similarity is that the left in the United States is doing its best to see that we lose.

I won't be suprised if they roll out Daniel Berrigan from the nursing home to make a anti-war speaking tour.

And the war between the present administration and the intelligence community both past and present continues.
