When a Senator such as Kennedy says that Iraq is Bush's Vietnam, he speaks from the knowledge he has about the actual situation there by virtue of his being a Senator.

Raskin questions 'staying the course' in a war built on 'lies' “That raised the question of oil, and therefore, the question of the Middle East,” he continued. When Saddam Hussein crossed the international border in his seige of neighboring Kuwait, the United States had the free-license to intervene and reveal its military capabilities, thus strengthening its influence, he suggested. The United States, however, purposely stopped short of removing Hussein from power. “That would result in a civil war that would destabilize the region” and work against U.S. interests, he said. In the run-up to the current war in Iraq, partly based on its success 10 years earlier, “the United States came to believe it had the power to remake the Middle East,” Raskin continued. This time, 9/11 became the license, but the link between terrorism and Iraq had to be made. web.wm.edu
