The Analogy Is False

Bush was asked about an Iraq-Vietnam correlation in an April 2004 press conference…
Q Mr. President, April is turning into the deadliest month in Iraq since the fall of Baghdad, and some people are comparing Iraq to Vietnam and talking about a quagmire. Polls show that support for your policy is declining and that fewer than half Americans now support it. What does that say to you and how do you answer the Vietnam comparison?
THE PRESIDENT: I think the analogy is false. I also happen to think that analogy sends the wrong message to our troops, and sends the wrong message to the enemy.
(By way of Froomkin.)

It just goes to show that Bush can’t even keep his stories straight in trying to get support for his intellectually-bankrupt policies.
