George Bush can be compared Lyndon Johnson and the way he handled the Vietnam War. According to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid D-Nev Johnson ordered troop escalation in order to save his political legacy only tosee casualties continue to rise in a losing battle.
Is that what is going on today? What does it mean to Bush and his name in the history books if this conflict ends the way Vietnam did? Reid also called the war “lost” and mentioned it’s not the time for patience. He’s right and Iagree with his comparisons. I eventually see it ending the same way and people looking back at the number lost and saying why? Does the administration care? I am very curious about the actions Bush takes in his last few months of office. I have a feeling he won’t hold anything back. The polls never mattered to him anyway. He continues to threaten to veto any bill that comes his way calling for a timeline of a pullout.
In the media, we don’t here what the troops in the actual field say, who are serving second tours of duty in Baghdad. What are their honest feelings about this war….?
