 Posted: 12/06/05 - 16:18 Post subject: Liberal Hack of the Day
Lemme git this straight, he's drawing a parallel between a war that started with guerrilla's and ended with tanks to a war that began with tanks and ended with homicide bombers?
| Quote: |
(CNN) -- Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean is drawing GOP fire after telling a Texas radio station that the idea the war in Iraq can be won is "just plain wrong."
In an interview with WOAI radio in San Antonio Monday, the head of the Democratic Party drew a parallel between efforts to hand over security responsibilities to Iraqis and similar efforts during the Vietnam War to the South Vietnamese.
That side ultimately lost the war.
"Of course, the South Vietnamese couldn't manage to support their own country," Dean said. "I do not believe in making the same mistake twice. And America appears to have made the same mistake twice."
Dean said he wished President Bush "had paid more attention to the history of Iraq before we had gotten in there."
"The idea that we are going to win this war is an idea that unfortunately is just plain wrong," he said.
Calling President Bush's plan in Iraq a "failed strategy, Dean said he and most Democrats support bringing home an estimated 80,000 National Guard and reserve troops within the next six months

Lessons can be learned from our past. I absolutely agree that this war can't be "won".

I'd even agree that no war can truly be won.

In the future this position needs to be emphasized before we enter into a war and I don't mean here but by influential consultants to the president. Now it seems too often war starts, those on the ground advise the pres and his men what it will take to win and they are denied....at that point the war is lost.
