So Bush said, "US will not run from Iraq the way I ran from Vietnam."

[blm]

Bush says U.S. "will not run" from Iraq

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President George W. Bush vowed on Saturday that the United States "will not run" from Iraq as it did from Vietnam, as he welcomed voting on a new Iraqi constitution and called it step forward for democracy.

Speaking near the close of voting on a charter aimed at reshaping Iraq's political structure after Saddam Hussein, Bush also praised the draft charter, which is strongly supported by ethnic Shi'ites and Kurds but opposed by many Sunni Arabs.

"This constitution is the result of months of debate and compromise by representatives of Iraq's diverse ethnic and religious communities," Bush said in his weekly radio address.

"These leaders came together to produce a document that protects fundamental freedoms and lays the foundation for a lasting democracy," he added.

1. Freudian slip?

I liked how he told the troops at the end of the fake Q&A "when you come back, and if I'm still here..." WTF?

5. we didn`t run

from nam-we were forced out. it is an insult to history to say we ran. there was no way we were ever going to "win" in nam and we are not going to "win" in iraq. what is even more insulting is that he did not fight there because he was a coward. i didn`t fight there because i refused to go,which i guess took some courage. but that pales in comparision to the courage that the guys i grew up with that fought there and died there. they never ran like the little coward did when he hid behind his daddy`s name.
