Even Ollie North knows Iraq is like Vietnam

Ollie is hardly one to tell the truth unless it slaps him pretty hard in the face. He managed to lie to Congress when it was his ass on the fire, but now that everyone is piling on Bush he decided to heap himself on too. The retired Colonel went on the O' Falafel Factor to express this view.



Note how Bill O prefaces North's commentary by saying 'Some Democrats say....' Typical O'Reilly bullshit. Despite North's checkered past he has been to Iraq eight times recently and has seen that troops on the ground want more Iraqi troops, not Americans. Also in the clip he notes how this escalation is eerily similar to LBJ's actions in the mid to late 60s in Vietnam.

O'Reilly tries to compare him to Nancy Pelosi and is shrugged off. Nancy wants to hold Bush accountable for his actions, therefore Bill is not a fan of her. G-dforbid the Congress fulfill its constitutional duties, right?

Finally Bill tries to get North to say that Democrats wants to lose in Iraq since we want to get the hell out of this quagmire that has killed thousands of our troops and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. Colonel North avoided the pointed question. Good for you, still not a fan of yours but I'll give credit where its due.
