Iraq and Viet Nam - both the same?

Sulfuric Attitude has a post about statements made by Senator Hagel of Nebraska, claiming that the situation in Iraq is the same as it was in Viet Nam.

Here's a couple of excerpts:

"He is right that things are starting to look like Vietnam. But is wrong as to what it is that looks that way. So what looks the same???

"To get the blast from the past, all you have to do is turn on the evening news and it looks and sounds just like it did then; Anti-American, Anti-War, all bad news from Iraq and none of the good, America the Bully, Terrorist just misunderstood. Sounds awful damned familiar doesn't it?"
