Yeah, good old Vietnam. A war that Democrats got us into.

When did Eisenhower become a Democrat?

A war that was primarily executed by Democrats and fucked up by the numbers all along the way by Democrats,

No argument until:

until a Republican came along and dragged it out for four more years with his Vietnamization policy and expanded the war into Laos and Cambodia before he, under heavy pressure from the American public and Congressional Democrats finally extracted us.

And the *cough* 'brainy' people like you want Democrats to once again be in control of a war and become our saviors?
Fat chance.
It seems the big problem is that Iraq has turned into somewhat less of a total disaster so you and some others are squirming at the thought that Iraq didn't suck long enough for the D's to come in and take credit for the aversion of a total cluster-f**k Thankfully they were prevented from snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as well by those who did have some foresight and fortitude instead of being tuck-tails. But instead of admitting that success you'd rather plug your fingers in your ears and make lots of loud noises with your pie-holes, hoping you can stall any admission of success until your party gets into office. I'd bet then that you'll suddenly begin noticing how Iraq has turned to gold overnnight and try to give your guys all the credit, in the typical kind of revisionism that you love to apply. That would make complete sense since revisionism is about all you have.

I admit the Bush administration has appointed commanders in Iraq who have improved the situation there, but even W couldn't maintain his record forever; even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Clearly your foresight sucks,

Unlike the prescience of the pro-war crowd?

probably because your vision of the present is so tainted by your partisan filters you can't even see straight.

I bow before your omniscience and total lack of bias.
