Bush Will Liken Vietnam, Iraq

Submitted by John Sandman, Aug 22, 2007 17:48

Some misguided individual got the idea to bundle the New York Sun with our daily delivery of the New York Times. In a front page story in the 8/22/07 edition, Eli Lake describes the end of the Vietnam war and the U.S. withdrawal as having "precipitated a communist-led bloodbath."

Unless you count the defeat of the ARVN by the NVA, this is an absolute lie. There was no "Communist-led bloodbath" in Vietnam in the aftermath of the fall of Saigon.
