George Bush on NPR this morning speaking in El Mirage AZ:
There have been hopeful developments in Iraq. I know you see violence on your TV screen and it breaks my heart to see the death of innocent life there. But thats the only thing the terrorists have got going for them. They've got the capacity to shake our conscious because unlike their ideology, we value every human life.
Contrast that with General Westmoreland said during Vietnam:
Human life is cheap to the Asian. They don't feel the same way about death that we do.
I think that if you're a president wanting to AVOID comparisons with Vietnam, that I might stop PARAPHRASING its more famous quotes.
Geez. Is the problem that none of Bush's staff are old enough to remember vietnam or they just didn't study it in prep school?
