"This is like the aircraft carrier," said former Ronald Reagan aide Michael K. Deaver, referring to Bush's announcement of victory in Iraq from the deck of the Abraham Lincoln in 2003. "It simply has given an extended talking point to those people who are opposed to the war and want to make the administration look bad…. I don't think it's a big problem. It's a problem."
He rejected any parallels with Vietnam. "There isn't any comparison between this and Vietnam," Deaver said. "There aren't student demonstrators all over the country. There aren't National Guardsmen tear-gassing people…. We're a long way from that."
They aren't gassing anyone Mike, because they are all in Iraq getting killed, you moron. Oh, right, it is a problem.
