The legacy of leaving Viet Nam: Lessons the Defeatocrats refuse to acknowlege

The Dems/Lefties/"Progressives" (and some moderates and non-resolute Republicans) don't seem to care about the real costs of bailing out of Iraq.

They had lots of fun trying to make Iraq into George Bush's Viet Nam, but when we point out the actual events that took place after we lost Viet Nam, they ignore the facts or try to change history to something more convenient for them.

Witness this recent excerpt from the New York Times:

"In urging Americans to stay the course in Iraq, Mr. Bush is challenging the historical memory that the pullout from Vietnam had few negative repercussions for the United States and its allies."

Revisionist history at its best......quite a handy tool to use to squelch something that doesn't quite fit the political agenda.

Jules Crittenden demolishes the Times' "historical memory" nonsense.

Key point:

"Maybe we shouldn’t be so surprised that the New York Times expects us to have forgotten all that, when Americans apparently know and care so little about the world they live in.

Maybe Barnum, the New York Times and the Democratic leadership of the United States Congress are right. Maybe they won’t go broke underestimating our intelligence."

Look at the laughable attempts at revisionist history in the comments.
