"Bush: Iraq 'Could Be' Vietnam All Over Again"
"Is it time to hit 'mission abort' in Iraq? In May 2003 U.S. President George W. Bush touched down on the deck of the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln in a jet fighter inscribed with the words "Commander in Chief" on the cockpit. Standing underneath a banner reading "Mission Accomplished," he declared the U.S. and its allies had "prevailed" in Iraq.
