Bush to invoke Vietnam in arguing against Iraq pullout

from here: Bush to invoke Vietnam in arguing against Iraq pullout

The president will also make the argument that withdrawing from Vietnam emboldened today's terrorists by compromising U.S. credibility, citing a quote from al Qaeda leader Osama bin ladin that the American people would rise against the Iraq war the same way they rose against the war in Vietnam, according to the excerpts.

"Here at home, some can argue our withdrawal from Vietnam carried no price to American credibility, but the terrorists see things differently," Bush will say.

HUH......????????? EVERY DAY, there is people dying of car-bombs and chopper crashes, those westpoint kids go to the frontline and die after they graduate, just graduate; and that stopped terrorism? maybe someone can compile a statistics, what is the cost (deaths, financial, time, energy, tension, causing people to be homeless, governmentless etc) per terrorist caught.
