Bush to invoke Vietnam in arguing against Iraq pullout
Story Highlights
President Bush Bush to address the Veterans of Foreign Wars on Wednesday

Bush to say that withdrawing from Vietnam emboldened today's terrorists

Speech will be latest White House attempt to try to reframe the debate over Iraq
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- As he awaits a crucial progress report on Iraq, President Bush will try to put a twist on comparisons of the war to Vietnam by invoking the historical lessons of that conflict to argue against pulling out.


Say, Motherfucker, aren't we a trading partner with Vietnam today? Guess you're still trying to win over the fat, wannabe, Stolen Valor crowd.

11. Wannabes are a dime a dozen, like VFW, DAV, American Legion
and so on, they usually are sitting at the bar, and it usually takes at least 3 of them to get the
war story straight.

2. Please tell me that you aren't referring to members of the VFW collectively as...
"the fat, wannabe, Stolen Valor crowd."

Tell me that that's not so.

10. Geez, I can never satisfy anyone....
