"The Vietnam syndrome is over!"

That was the most offensive presidential statement during my lifetime on so many levels.

Bush Jr. was just an idiot with a big mouth.

11. He's God the Decider. He decides whose life is good and whose isn't and what to do about that.
"Here, all you worthless people, go do Death and Destruction so your life will be worth something."

13. Well, I voted for the WMDs one, but then
I remembered "Please don't kill me" from his Governor days. What a miserable excuse for a human being.

21. Don't forget the WMD line wasn't off the cuff.
It was a scripted video production. Lots of people involved in making it, and not a single one of them thought the line was tasteless?

31. Other: Bush talking about not leaving Iraq because it was so horrible
we left Vietnam:

"Whatever your position in that debate, one unmistakable legacy of Vietnam is that the price of America's withdrawal was paid by millions of innocent citizens whose agonies would add to our vocabulary new terms like 'boat people,' 're-education camps' and 'killing fields.'"

Revisionist history hogwash.
