Is Iraq Another Vietnam?
If you listen to the MSM, Donks and Loony Left, then your answer would be YES!
We have been constantly bombarded by death tolls, speeches stating that we are losing, that it is quagmire, a civil war, whining that Iraq has nothing to do with hunting down terrorists and that it is all a waste of time and lives. And Americans are starting to believe this tripe.
Is Iraq another Vietnam?
I am starting to believe that it is. Not for the reasons above, but because we are going to repeat the same mistakes as we did in Vietnam. We are letting the MSM and Left shape the view of what is happening over there. We are not hearing the wonderful progress we have made in not only rebuilding Iraq's infrastructure, but improving it. We are not hearing about the people, their new lives under freedom, not tyranny. We don't get the news on how passive 80% of the country is, how Iraqis are going about their daily business without being bombed or shot at throughout the vast majority of the country. No, all we get is gloom and doom being reported by the world's Left biased MSM and being repeated by the freedom hating Donks.
I believe Iraq is going to be another Vietnam, because America seems posed on pulling out, leaving the people to the throes of the enemy. We will make the same mistake of defunding the war, not supporting the Gov't they have set up for themselves, we will leave them high and dry to be overcome by the enemy and become another hateful Islamic dictatorship like Iran. We are repeating the same mistake of not confronting the enemy where he lives, we are not stopping Iran and Syria from meddling in Iraq, just as we let North Vietnam and the USSR have their way in South Vietnam.
History tends to repeat itself, and the MSM and Left are too stupid to look back and see what the results were after we left Vietnam. Pogroms, purges, re-education camps, and killing fields, that is what happened after the Left pushed America into leaving Vietnam. Hundreds of thousands if not millions again will die because the MSM and Left are so dishonest that they will not admit what they did to the people of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
I love America, but am disgusted with it's people and politicians, because they have no guts, and are too stupid to look back at the past and are willing to repeat it.
