Bloodless Coup

Another "We're All Gonna Die!" Moment - The Korean War?

OMG - things have apparently gotten so bad that the new Republican spin is that not only is Bush Truman (which is an idea they've pushed before, though it's an odd choice given how unpopular he was) but now the Iraq War is the Korean War. There are similarities sure - distasterous choices made by US officials, US officials misreading the likely actions of foreign governments (in ways that gravely harmed US interests and made the situation worse), the place becoming a prolonged, stagnant killing zone. But it's a bizarre choice (unhinged?) to use as the best argument for why the American people should "stay the course". If this is the best analogy they can use for why we should have to current policies and why the American people should stick with those policies ... well I'd say they are definitely going to lose at least one House of Congress next month, and the war is just going to become more unpopular.
