I disagree. Obama is LBJ, not Nixon. Nixon pulled out the troops, Obama is putting more in and has put more in. True, he may not put as many in as Stanley Westmoreland McChystal wants but he is still more than meeting him half way.

Nixon pulled out the troops

After the NV troops had been routed. The Democrats later stabbed the South Vietnamese in the back by withholding support.


Stanley Westmoreland McChystal

That is an unfair comparison-unfair to McChrystal.
