-- is that the basis on which you're saying it's "misleading"?

As even Reuters points out, we went from almost zero troops in '61 to 17,000 in '64. And we were still in an "advisory" position even then, with no real combat units there until the last part of the last year. Compare that with the number of troops we have had in Iraq, with which we defeated Saddams Army and are still fighting the remnants. That is what is "misleading."

The left's position on Iraq is based on their Vietnam experience. That is why these type of comparisons are served up. And swallowed by those who want to believe them.
