Tom Bevan of the mega-blog Realclearpolitics.com nails the Iraq/Vietnam comparisons coming from the left.

So, Iraq is Vietnam when the left wants to bash the military or the administration…

But, it is not Vietnam when they spin the electoral outcomes of using the war as a campaign issue.

Meanwhile in Iraq…the press blows another story.

“Initial news reports from several news agencies that claimed more than 20 Iraqi policemen were killed were incorrect.  Several news organizations were incorrect indicating that Nineveh Provincial Director of Police, General Wathiq, was killed in the attack.  General Wathiq spoke to several news agencies via telephone interviews following the attack to confirm he was uninjured and to provide information related to the attack.”
