Kissinger finds parallels to Vietnam in Iraq

[baldguy]

An architect of the U.S. war in Vietnam more than 30 years ago said Sunday that he has "a very uneasy feeling" that some of the same factors that damaged support for the conflict there are re-emerging in the 2-year-old war in Iraq.

....
Support for the war has dropped in recent polls, and criticism of President Bush's handling of the conflict has grown. The latest CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, taken Aug. 5-7, found that 54 percent of those surveyed thought the 2003 invasion of Iraq was a mistake.

Right. We've been saying Iraq is Vietnam for two years, but I guess when a blood-soaked war criminal speaks the SCLM listens.

4. Oh boy, Nobel Peace Prize for Condi

This is the guy that ended Tom Lehrer's career - he could no longer write satirical political songs when Mr. Carpet Bomb himself won the Nobel Peace Prize. At least Le Duc Tho had the decency and self respect to refuse his.
