The World Thinks We Whimped Out In Viet Nam

It is great to hear someone else bringing this up.

al-Qaida No. 2: U.S. 'Ran' From Vietnam

In a letter to his top deputy in Iraq, al-Qaida's No. 2 leader said the United States "ran and left their agents" in Vietnam and the jihadists must have a plan ready to fill the void if the Americans suddenly leave Iraq.

"Things may develop faster than we imagine," Ayman al-Zawahri wrote in a letter to his top deputy in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. "The aftermath of the collapse of American power in Vietnam _ and how they ran and left their agents _ is noteworthy. ... We must be ready starting now."

Please note, "The aftermath of the collapse of American power in Vietnam _ and how they ran and left their agents _ is noteworthy.

Back on August 28th, I put up a post on a similar issue, it was in regards to what could have been, had we not bailed on Viet Nam. Read it here.

If al-Zawahri's comments don't make it unquestionably clear that we must stay the course, (just like GW Bush has been suggesting all along), you must not be paying attention!
