Iraq versus Vietnam

Views is waiting for the President to give his speech on 10 January from the Oval Office, comment all about the place, is a surge short or long term policy and will the Congress causes problems for the President, till then Views has been reading some interesting articles on Iraq.

The UK Guardian. In essence want the Congress to act on Iraq, same views as the New York Times.

RCP on the relationship between the Parties as the year goes ahead in the context of Iraq.

The speech is the turning point, it will be like 1968 and the speech by LBJ when he removed himself from the race in the drive for peace. The plan failed and Vietnam and the Democrats lost in the election of 1968. Bush 43, if he wins in Iraq, the the Republicans should win in 2008, if not then the Democrats will take the White House and keep Congress. The stakes and rewards are high.
