Ace in the hole

Good call Cyrus. From the article you mentioned:

The war in Iraq is not "another Vietnam."

I hope that wasn't the ace up your sleeve.

Read the article more carefully. Then you will, perhaps, notice the blatant similarities in the military and political situation between Vietnam and Iraq that Melvin Laird points out. Laird is particularly angry with the prospect of the United States making the same "mistakes" as in Vietnam.
If we were obliged to make an all-or-nothing call, then no, of course "Iraq is not Vietnam".
But then what is ?
