Just as we lost Vietnam by losing the hearts and minds of the South Vietnamese with burning villages to save them, the My Lai Massacre, the horrible corruption of the South Vietnamese leaders, the plan to "Vietnamize" the war, and the fact that Vietnam was really about the oil in the South China Sea and other resources, we are losing the Iraq War for all the same reasons.
Even Republican Senator Hagel agrees!
Hagel: Bush Should Seek Immediate Cease Fire In Lebanon; Says Iraq Is Vietnam All Over AgainAugust 01, 2006
“The sickening slaughter on both sides must end now. This madness must stop.” With those words, Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska urged President Bush to push for an immediate cease fire in Lebanon.
Hagel, a decorated veteran of the Vietnam conflict, also compared American involvement in Iraq to the U.S. misadventure in Southeast Asia.
...
Hagel also said anarchy has gripped Iraq and that Bush erred in recently announcing that more troops would be sent there.
“That isn’t doing any good. It’s going to have a worse effect. They’re destroying the United States Army,” Hagel told the Omaha World-Herald.
...
In August of 2005, Hagel said the United States was becoming bogged down in Iraq and that the Bush administration was disconnected from reality and losing the war. He said a parallel was emerging between the Vietnam and Iraq campaigns.
At that time Hagel said: "The longer we stay in Iraq, the more similarities will start to develop, meaning essentially that we are getting more and more bogged down, taking more and more casualties, more and more heated dissension and debate in the United States.”
