BUSH BLAMES AMERICA FOR LOSING VIETNAM AND NOW IRAQ

It's bad enough that we have a foolish President who seems content in revising his rationale for war--once the original one fails to capture the attention of the American people.

But to simply assign blame on the American public whom wanted out of that sad little Asian conflict in the first place? Does Bush really believe we could've won that one hands down?

How strange!

I didn't know that those who protested the Vietnam War--were responsible for allowing atrocities like the massacre under Pol Pot to occur in the first place!

God almighty! I must've read the wrong history book here! Why wasn't I told of this growing up?

Shucky-darn! I guess I should stop protesting the war which Bush has led us into illegally and start getting right with the program...

However, that wouldn't stop the war. Or the people who want out of this never-ending conflict--as Bush is now looking for a new way out of the mess he himself created.

By drawing on the divisive (and painful) memory of Vietnam, ol' Dubya is seeking to foot the blame on the very people who is no longer supporting his failed war: Namely, the American people.

Namely me.
