Echoes of Vietnam in Afghan Exit Strategy
2012-05-03
To understand the historical significance of President Barack Obama's visit to Afghanistan on Tuesday, imagine that President Richard Nixon had, in the spring of 1972, flown to Saigon to signal American voters that the Vietnam war was coming to an end -- and to ink a deal with President Nguyen Van Thieu codifying a long-term U.S. relationship with the Republic of South Vietnam, which would shortly be left responsible for its own security.
I've been waiting for this meme to hit the MSM.
