Actually he's not deluding himself in making the very small comparison with Vietnam. Did you factor in the amount of troops deployed in 1965 and 1966 to when there was full out warfare and then look at Iraq? Iraq was unnecessary in your eyes but not to those that screamed to be let free of Saddam's reign of terror and oppression. Not his neighbors such as Saudi Arabia who kept the US' military presence until Iraq was no longer a threat to them. Before you continue to run around spouting "toeing the party line" understand that the intelligence upon which Britain and the US made their stance on was the exact same shared with all other allies, and no one said it was false then. Hundreds and thousands of WMDs have been uncovered in Iraq and the media has reported on them, but the media was looking for the "magic key" and played on the peoples' opinion to make a fast buck. You are going to want to fortify your position with fact and ground them with reason because right now all I see is misguided opinion bent on defaming those that support Iraq.
