NOW He Wants to Start Reading History Books...

It's hard to wrap my head around how Bush could try to use "lessons learned" from pulling out of Vietnam as a way to keep us from pulling out of Iraq.

But I am Xmastime, so I will try: Bush wants to use the lessons of Vietnam to convince us to not pull out of a war he got us into by NOT using the lessons of Vietnam in the first place.

Hmm. Got it.

You know Dubs, you don't come off well when all of a sudden you wanna use such things as facts, lessons learnt and history in your argument. As you are the president who brags about not reading, stick to what you do best: listening to your amazing, pitch-perfect "instinct" and, of course, telling us it's what Jesus told you to do.

Or maybe you coulda learned from your own personal history lesson and treated the "Iraq War" in the beginning as you did Vietnam: avoid it.
