And after LBJ .. we got Nixon!

Thanks to Clinton history will repeat itself, leaving it to a Republican to extract the US from a disaster.

<<The only reason we lost the Viet Nam war is because Lyndon Johnson refused to launch a ground invasion against North Viet Nam.>>

This is not only naive, but irresponsible. The reason we lost in Vietnam was because 1.) we didnt have the support of the Vietnamese people 2.) our enemy was willing to go the long haul and absorb whatever price we were able to exact upon them. It was an unwinnable war.
