Nixon had a plan -- Bush has a plan ??
For the old timers here that remember Viet Nam, they probably recall Nixon's campaign in 1968 where he said he had a plan to end the war in Viet Nam. Four years later, more troops had died under Nixon's command than they had the previus 4 years under LBJ...

Now, those memories come rushing back when Bush says that he has a plan for Iraq. Yeah...like Nixon had a plan. I can't wait to see him getting on a helicopter with both arms raised in a "double victory" and going back ot Crawford where the "elite meida" won't have Dubya to kick around anymore....

3. Nixon bullshitted the American public with his "plan" for five years
Bush had no plan going into Iraq... except to invade and conquer Iraq, kill Iraqi's, steal their oil, get contracts with our tax dollars to Republican corporations like Halliburton, build US bases there, make weapons makers like pappy's, Carlyle Group richer and to increase his numbers in the polls with a war (while intending all along, to leave no money left to fund social progams, because all the money will be tied up in the war).

Bush has no plan, but to continue the same lies and hope the UN, who he and the republicans despise, will bail him out...and then they'll point fingers at the UN...

Oh yeah, and his plan to plant WMD in Iraq.

4. bush said he has a plan to win the war on terror. Just what would that be?
There are only two possible outcomes of bush policies: either a neverending war on "terror," or we kill them all. The only plan that could actually end militant Islamic terrorism is a "hears and minds" long-term plan.
