Either that or they’ll just do like the North Vietnamese and wait the 14 months, take over with a totalitarian regime and celebrate when the media declares that our military was run out of town with their tails tucked between their legs, and get support from Bernie Sanders type Democrats.

No doubt about it. The parallels between the Vietnam War and the Afghan War are eerie. But Bush II had one advantage LBJ didn’t have. Bush had the lessons of Vietnam right before him. Bush should have known what not to do.

Bush repeated most of LBJ’s mistakes anyway. George W. Bush - the worst foreign policy president ever. I’d even rank him below Wilson, as bad as Wilson was.
