Iraq is NOTHING like Vietnam - NOTHING!
Webb says Allen is part of an arrogant Republican majority in Washington bent on repeating in Iraq the blunders that killed so many of his buddies in Vietnam a generation ago.
Democrat Lyndon Johnson is the primary cause of 58,000 soliders being killed in action in Vietnam, and many many more being wounded. He second guessed our generals, and he failed to take decisive action against the Communists. If Democrat LBJ were in the White House on 9/11/01, Saddam Hussein would still be torturing and murdering, and the terrorists would still have a base of operations in Afghanistan. President Bush has great courage, he took decisive action, and as a result we have liberated 50 million people (Iraq + Afghanistan).
By the way, the U.S. ultimately prevailed in Vietnam, and President Nixon and Secretary of State Kissinger negotiated a cease fire. But later Congress cut off assistance for South Vietnam, and the Communists moved back into the South and massacred hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese, plus Cambodians.
Now Democrats want to repeat this scenario. They want to cut and run from Iraq, taking a cue from Hanoi Kerry, Hanoi Jane, and the other traitors. Democrats want to waste the lives of almost 3,000 of our troops who have fought to keep us free and safe here at home. If the current Democrats "leaders" had been at Valley Forge with General Washington, they would have cut and run. The Democrats are lowly, base, immoral, and obscene.
