The contributors to your blog might find last night's broadcast of Bill Moyers Journal on PBS worth a listen. Pretty much without comment, Moyers plays the tapes of LBJ's conversations with MacNamara, Bundy, RFK and others from Spring of 1964 as he questions each of them about what to do in Viet Nam...The issues, language and dilemmas are a chilling echo of what we hear about Afghanistan today.
"U.S. has time to reconsider Iraq drawdown plan: Odierno" Surprise! Surprise!!!
Like I've said repeatedly, I'll believe a US pull out from Iraq when I see it.
