"Iraq war, and 'Vietnamization' analogies are fairly tenuous, given the cautious instincts and deliberative approach the President is known and often criticized for. This is not a situation where a President is using a Gulf of Tonkin incident or weapons of mass destruction argument to help convince a skeptical public – this is an instance where the public's authentic moral compulsion has helped convince a skeptical president."
