it's nice to see king georgie in part admit ted kennedy may have been right to call iraq "bush's vietnam," but differences remain.
bush was speaking only of the current level of attacks on our troops and the high casualties when he said the situation resembles the tet offensive of 1968 because it is before an election, but,
1) tet was 9 months before the election, not one month, and
2) in january '68 gallup poll showed a 56%-28% hawk-dove ratio in the US, which shifted to an even split in march '68 after the offensive, while current public opinion has already shifted over the past year.
