LBJ did have the example of Eisenhower to draw on, who kept Vietnam at arm's length and was very wary of putting US ground forces in there. JFK was the bad example who messed things up in Vietnam, with his "bear any burden" BS, his escalation of US involvement, and his overthrow of Diem.
I do agree that Bush II bears full responsibility for Iraq. IMO we were better off with Saddam in there. I never bought the WMD pretext for invading Iraq, and I don't think the Bush administration believed it either; it was an excuse.
